I'm all for that!
Jim....can we put this as it's own??
I think we both know it won’t happen even if it passes. Reid, Pelosi and the other elites will make sure it doesn’t happen.
>>So, if health care reform passes...theyll ALL have to have the same health care we are stuck with?<<
NO. They know they can strip out this ammendment at the Conference to reconcile the House bill with the Senate bill.
The Fourteenth amendment includes the following passage:
"nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws"
This means that any law applies to everyone equally, there can be no "exceptions", or "special treatments" for members of Congress or the unions, etc. Any plan that includes special treatment for some groups, or exclusions for others is unconstitutional.
Which Democrats voted in favor of this amendment?
What needs to happen is for all government employees, including Congress, to draw Social Security when they retire, and have the same health care they are trying shove down our throats or go on Medicare when they retire. Then when they say they feel our pain, we can believe them.
Never mind; saw post #2.
Here are a few pretty good articles about Germany & the UK’s health care that I found several months back.
I can’t imagine one informed person wanting to accept this type of health care system.

And more problems in the UK:

The Congressional Democrats have revealed they that are not of the people. They are above the people. They are elitist. They improve their own situation in life at the expense of Americans who don't have the same access to power as they. They weigh men down with burdens hard to bear while not even touching the burdens with one finger.
OK—we better be hearing this all over the airwaves!! Actually bo already said as much, didn’t he, regarding his wife and kids?
THEY ARE PIGS!!! THROW THE PIGS OUT!!!
Thanks for posting the links, Holly.
Then we will know he is serious about 'his plan'. Someone get Obama to sign a pledge! NEVER HAPPEN!
I’m confused. They now have government-run health insurance. So what is it they say they don’t want?
They don’t want the government-run plan they’re proposing for us masses, they want the one they have which they know can’t be offered to the masses no matter how much they raise taxes.
This is our out. This garbage is unconstitutional under the equal protection clause of he US Constitution. A suit must be brought immediately challenging all laws which Congress exempts themselves, if the courts do not rule in our favor then the revolution begins.
They’re elites; the rules don’t apply to them. The attitude of most of the dems, and some of the repubs, is that we work for them. More and more people are beginning to catch on to this, and hopefully they will be voted out of office in November 2010
