HR 615 If it's good enough for us, then it's good enough for them!!!
Let’s join Congressman John Fleming by signing his petition to require all members of Congress to enroll in the same health care program they want to shove off on us…. HR 615 - Please forward to everyone you know
Subject: HR 615
On Tuesday, the Senate health committee voted 12-11 in favor of a two-page amendment, courtesy of Republican Tom Coburn which would require all Members of Congress and their staff members to enroll in any new government-run health plan.
Congressman John Fleming has proposed an amendment that would require Congressmen and Senators to take the same health care plan that they are proposing on us. (Under proposed legislation they are exempt.)
Congressman Fleming is encouraging people to go to his Website and sign his petition. The process is very simple.
Fill out name address, etc...click "YES" and submit!! *
Senator Coburn and Congressman Fleming are both physicians.
Regardless of your political beliefs, it sure seems reasonable that Congress should have exactly the same medical coverage that they impose on the rest of us.
Please urge as many people as you can to do the same!
*When I first tried to log on to Congressman Fleming's site it was inundated, so waited until the next day and could go on and vote. If at first you don't succeed keep trying. Also, keep trying until your vote registers and Please pass this on to other tax paying citizens that pay the congress and senate salaries

If our legislators managed to slip through a loophole and award themselves better health care, please vote them out in the next election. We cannot afford to have corrupt, elitist persons in positions of trust.
Actually, 45% of those employed are part of that plan, including teachers, firemen, policemen, state and local govt. employees, military - and who have I forgotten?
I was able to submit my sign-up. Hope all our combined efforts help to accomplish the goal.
with many thanks Linda

Did you know this bill covers Palau, Mariana Islands, Guam, Samoa, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Micronesia, and the Marshall Islands. The Social Security code had to be changed to add some of these islands. How's that for extending healthcare?
Here is the link to my summary.
Pelosi-Obama! I will volunteer to do it.
As the world explodes in front of Barack, he has to get his top priority National Obama-Pelosicare. Hope and Change-What a disaster!!!
