non political, = doesnt take sides, (unless you`re a member of congress!)



Please pass this on!!

On Tuesday, the Senate health committee voted 12-11 in favor of a Two-page amendment courtesy of Republican Tom Coburn that would require all Members and their staffs to enroll in any new Government-run health plan. It took me less than a minute to sign up to require our congressmen and senators to drink at the same trough! Three cheers for Congressman John Fleming of Louisiana!

Congressman John Fleming (Louisiana physician) has proposed an Amendment that would require congressmen and senators to take the same healthcare plan they force on us under proposed legislation they are curiously exempt.

Congressman Fleming is encouraging people to go on his web site and sign his petition (very simple - just first, last and email). I have immediately done just that at:

http://fleming.house.gov/index.cfm?sectionid=55&sectiontree=29,55



Please urge as many people as you can to do the same!

If Congress forces this on the American people, the Congressmen should have to accept the same level of health care for themselves and their families. To do otherwise is the height of hypocrisy! Now that's what I'm talkin' 'bout.

They don't have to use it. They have to ENROLL in it. I enrolled in a gym once. I never went.

I'm betting we see them sneak in a "cost of living" pay increase to cover the additional cost of having two health care coverages.

One of their choice and the other that they vote on.

well if they enroll in it , but not use it..they should have to PAY for the alternative out of pocket....WE should not pay for their alternative health care insurance...we dont have "Royalty" here.....Royalty would get health care paid for by tax payers....we got rid of Royalty 200 plus years ago....
