Resolved: Congress Needs To Get Off Public Healthcare

[stopbush]

and go on a private insurance plan, preferably an HMO.

They need to put their money where their mouths are, dontcha think?

1. don't hold your breath

2. I think that's a great idea!

no public health care for Congress, until they solve the public health care issue for everyone.

[lunatica]

3. The fact that they are so disdainful towards us while having public healthcare

on our dime just twists my gut.

It's like fat, well fed people denying food to those who arestarving, even if they, the fat fucks, don't eat it.

4. Yup. Ben Nelson can pay for his own healthcare.

I can't afford it any more. I've got too many doctor bills and hospital bills of my own.

5. hell yes.

[City Lights]

6. Indeed.

Too bad I don't have a magic wand...

7. "They would like to keep the healthcare they have," as I believe the saying goes...

which may explain why they are so very solicitous towards the small group of Americans who see no crisis with our healthcare non-system, and towards that group of providers, who may if it suits them, provide it.

8. hell w that -- let 'em pay retail! Betcha the first time they refill their viagra scrips

for full price, they'll get busy on meaningful legislation.

[Donnachaidh]

9. They need to go on COBRA

THAT would leave a very bad taste in their mouths. Then let them argue with the insurance companies over care - let them be denied cutting edge technology, because the insurance company decides it's *experimental*.

Let all these old farts pay FULL PRICE for their meds.
