Quote:
On Tuesday, the Senate health committee voted 12-11 in favor of a two-page amendment courtesy of Republican Tom Coburn that would require all Members and their staffs to enroll in any new
government-run health plan.
Congressman John Fleming (a Louisiana physician) has proposed an
amendment that would require congressmen and senators to take the same healthcare plan they force on us
(under proposed legislation they are curiously exempt).
If Congress forces this on the American people, the Congressmen should have to accept the same level of health care for themselves and their families. To do otherwise is the height of hypocrisy!

Why the hell does this need to be an amendment? That should have been like - on page 1 of the friggin bill.
