Healthcare Reform for All (Payment Reform)
Hat's off to Oklahoma's Tom Coburn (R).These amendments propose that all members of Congress, Senator and their staffs be require to carry the same government run health care plan as the rest of us.
Thanks John Walters for following and posting.
Ok guys if it's good enough for us it's good enough for them. Fleming is from Louisiana's Fourth Congressional District. Too many active rainers don't want to talk politics on their blogs but this one will effect us all eventually. No matter where you stand on politics.
HR 615
On Tuesday, the Senate health committee voted 12-11 in favor of a
two-page amendment, courtesy of Republican Tom Coburn which would require
all Members of Congress and their staff members to enroll in any new
government-run health plan.
Congressman John Fleming has proposed an amendment that would
require Congressmen and Senators to take the same health care plan that they
would force on us. (Under proposed legislation they are exempt.)
Congressman Fleming is encouraging people to go to his Website and
sign his petition. The process is very simple. I have done just that at:

Senator Coburn and Congressman Fleming are both physicians.
Regardless of your political beliefs, it sure seems reasonable that Congress
should have exactly the same medical coverage that they impose on the rest
of us.
