Help Kill Health Care

[Fountain38SC]

Received this in an email. It can't hurt to try.

Please read and act, only takes a minute!


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. 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 John 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

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. To do otherwise is the height of hypocrisy!
Please pass this on!!

It amazes me that peoples priorities are so screwed up that they will happily pay 50K+ for a car every 4-5 years but complain about health care at 13K (average cost) a year for the family. I don't pay even close to that for my family of 3. Most companies pay a good chunk of that 13K as part of their compensation plans.

Because the Dems and unions have been campaigning that it is a right and not a privilege (you earn) for the last 45 years. Now 51% of us believe it.

Once the government socializes anything, it doesn't work anymore. When you take the profit motive away, there is very little motivation. The government doesn't have to make a profit, they have our money to spend, or they can just print up some more.
