Health Care Reform: Tit for Tat

Health Care Reform:

On Tuesday, the Senate health committee voted 12-11 in favor of a two-page amendment that would require all Members and their staffs to enroll in any newly passed government-run health plan.

If our Congress forces the touted health care reform package on the American people, then Congress should have to accept the same level of health care for themselves and their families.

To do any less would be the height of hypocrisy.

Congressman John Fleming ( a Louisiana physician) has proposed an amendment to the Health Care Bill that would require congressmen and senators to take the same health care plan they force on us. Under currently proposed legislation they are curiously exempt.

Congressman Fleming is encouraging people to go to his Website and Sign his petition (very simple - just email). You can do just that at: fleming.house.gov

It takes less than a minute to sign up for the measure to require our congressmen and senators to
drink at the same trough! Three cheers for Congressman John Fleming of Louisiana!

If you, as an American Taxpayer, believe that Congress should eat what it cooks, please urge others in your circle to weigh in on this matter. It may be the first time that Congress & The Senate would be forced to eat where and what they poop.
