Well this got me thinking....and it's often dangerous when I do that, so bear with me.
A good number of our elected officials seem to be against a single payer, nationalized health care - in fact, most of them are so beholden to big insurers that they refuse to even consider this "socialist" concept.
Since elected officials get to partake in a very nice insurance, tax payer paid plan, for life.
They must give it up.
Senator John McCain is a perfect example...he has been eligible for government sponsored health care for his entire life. Yet, he feels his constituents and the rest of us do not deserve that luxury? Now I realize his trophy wife could pay for whatever they needed...but that's not really the point.
IF WE CAN'T HAVE IT - THEY SHOULDN'T EITHER!
Check back tomorrow for more details.
Agreed! Politicians should never have benefits that the rest of us lack.
