1. For Doctors in Congress, Little Harmony on Health Care.

In the struggle to overhaul the nation’s health care system, 16 physicians have ended up in ringside seats — as members of the House and Senate.

The Senate doesn't seem to have a list... but then, who knows? It's a bear finding anything at either of those sites.

5. both of my reps are doctors

I've been blessed with Gingrey and Price. I'm doing some digging to see if I can come up with any info on their previous *careers*, and was wondering just how many doctors went through all that schooling, and then chucked it for politics.
