Frame: Why hasn't John Boehner and the GOP crowd given up their government-run healthcare?

[zulchzulu]

I guess people like John Boehner, who has his insurance industry-approved talking points as accessible as a golf tee in his pocket, don't mind it and all have VERY NICE government-run health care coverage, as in Johnny's case since the last century.

So does he and other country-club Republicans think they are better than us and we don't deserve decent health care? I'm guessing that either we aren't paying attention or are stupid... or both.

Senators and members of Congress have access and all use the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program (FEHBP). The program offers health plans from which to choose, including fee-for-service, point-of-service, and health maintenance organizations (HMOs). In addition, Congress members can also insure their spouses and their dependents.

Who pays for it? YOU!

Pay up. Johnny's waiting.

1. Someone needs to challenge them on TV to give it up

3. Preferably a sane bagger; are there any of them around? nt

6. My question for the "sane bagger" would be where was he/she during the Bush crime family years?

Surely some bad stuff happened. Oh wait! Bush was white. Never mind.

7. Exactly, sadly. nt

2. Nice frame; maybe they're not very serious, about anything,

except their naked hatred of this admin and bringing them down through any means necessary?

4. This is a great way to frame it and there are a lot of other ways to call them out...

...but most Dems are running scared - idiotically!

[zulchzulu]

5. It confounds me how this is not a HUGE Democratic talking point.

Maybe it will happen... before time runs out.

8. Very hypocritical of congress to impose HCR on us

while they keep their super deluxe health care program.

[zulchzulu]

9. Certainly hypocritical of the GOP to trash HCR while they keep what they have n/t

[golfguru]

10. Is'nt GOP part of congress?

But to be fair most GOPers in congress were against the HCR.
So they can be excused for not embracing it. How about
those who voted for it and still won't embrace it?
