All those Republicans with their GUVMIT run healthcare? How many have gave theirs up yet?

I think it's three so far!!



Democrats Press GOP Lawmakers to Turn Down Government Health Care


A group of House Democrats has released a letter to Republican congressional leaders calling on them to announce which of their members will be forgoing their congressional benefit health insurance (which is subsidized by the government) in light of their party's opposition to health care reform overhaul legislation.

"If your conference wants to deny millions of Americans affordable health care, your members should walk that walk," four Democrats write in the letter, which is addressed to Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell and House Republican leader John Boehner. "You cannot enroll in the very kind of coverage that you want for yourselves, and then turn around and deny it to Americans who don't happen to be Members of Congress."


According to the letter, the federal government pays more than $10,000 of the premiums of each member of Congress who has a family policy under the most selected plan.


The signatories on the letter are four liberal lawmakers: Joseph Crowley of New York, Linda T. Sanchez of California, Donna Edwards of Maryland and Tim Ryan of Ohio. They sent a separate letter to other Democratic colleagues asking them to sign onto the effort.

As an American taxpayer, I DEMAND that the Republicans put language in the bill that REPEALS THEIRS TOO!

1. Yep. And why not give the salaries that "we the people" pay them too
Their REAL benefactors can afford to tote the note and pay so much better anyway.
