[Money-matters] FW: Share Healthcare

[Marc Cuniberti/Bay Area Process/KVMR FM/KFOK FM Radios]

Marc's Notes:
 
 
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. Yet all
Democrats - with the exceptions of acting chairman Chris Dodd, Barbara
Mikulski and Ted Kennedy via proxy - voted nay.    
It took me less than a minute to sign up to require our congressmen and
senators to drink at the same trough!  Three cheers for Congressman John
Fleming of Louisiana!   
Congressman Fleming (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).
Congressman Fleming is encouraging people to go on his Website and sign his
petition (very simple - just first, last and email). I have immediately done
just that at:  <http://fleming.house.gov/index.html>
http://fleming.house.gov/index.html . Please urge as many people as you can
to do the same!   
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.
My apologies if you've already received this, but it's too important to let
congress just ram this legislation thru - this is the only way they will
slow down and think about this! 

PS - it may take a couple of tries to sign onto the petition as the website
has been overloaded - just hit the "back" arrow and resubmit until it goes
thru.
