Regardless of how you feel about the health care plans, I received the following email and think that we should all act on it. Health care reform is going to happen just like the bank bailouts happened.
"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. This is just step one - it has to pass the House and Senate. We need to require our congressmen and senators to drink at the same trough as the rest of us!
Three cheers for Congressman John Fleming (Louisiana physician) who 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 Website
< http://fleming.house.gov/index.html> and sign his petition. Very simple - just first, last and email. 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. It's too important to let congress just ram this legislation through - this is the only way they will slow down and really think it through!
PS - it may take a couple of tries to sign onto the petition as the website has been overloaded - just hit the "back" arrow and resubmit until it goes through."
MAKE THE GOV SIGN UP FOR WHATEVER PLAN THEY PASS!!!
