Thank you!
One thing I like to say is why aren’t Obama and Congress required to use the same “health”care that they want to mandate to us.
The only reason I’m not working on it now, is that just today I have sent out three mass emailings citing Obama and Dems’ healthcare proposals, along with other mailings, and I’m afraid that it’s possible to over-saturate. Well, there’s tomorrow, and more alerts going out to all that I know.

Good Enough for Congress
Tell Congress to Take a Dose of Their Own Medicine
If They Vote for Government-Run Healthcare, They Enroll in Government-Run Healthcare

A government-sponsored public plan option continues to be the most contentious issue in the current health reform debate. Proponents of the option believe it provides an alternative. It lets Americans choose between a government-run option and private insurers, while at the same time applying competitive pressure to the rest of the insurance industry. Opponents say the introduction of a public plan would lead to the federal takeover of the country’s healthcare system, thereby restricting patient choice, reducing quality and increasing the power of the federal government.
As health legislation continues to be debated, one has to ask whether members of Congress writing such legislation would actually enroll themselves in a new government-run healthcare option. Current draft healthcare legislation exempts members of Congress from the public plan option, allowing them to keep their existing plans.
Congressman John Fleming (LA-04) is asking this very question noting that public servants should be accountable and responsible for what they are advocating. He has created a resolution calling on members of Congress who support a public option to enroll themselves and encourage their colleagues to do the same. We support his resolution and broaden it to include congressional staff as well.
Somewhere in this massive tome of a bill there should be some specifics as to who doesn’t have to comply with it. Unions, federal employees, Congress creeps.
