All congressmen and senators against health care reform drop their government health plan.

After all the government cannot run a decent health insurance, right? So... to be consistent... all those against a government run health care plan should give it up. Or is it that it's ok for the congressmen but not ok for everyone else?

To clarify - I am one of the lucky ones who have employer sponsored health care. Thing is - I know I'm lucky. I know how much it costs to get health care insurance on one's own. I used to pay for health insurance when I was self employed - it used to cost us - a family of 3 without any serious previous conditions - close to US$1,500 a month. We were guilty of being over 40.

You people have it all wrong. Most people believe we need some kind of healih care reform but not this one. Reason is because noone can understand it. I have read about half of the bill and understand very little. If I can't understand it I am against it. If they could come up with a bill that works something like what we have here in Tennessee then I would be for it. Here if you are below a given amount of income then you can get what is called Tenncare at NO cost. It is a state government run program and it works well. Yes cindy, it covers the poor not the rich. If you ever get above that income you are given time to get you owen coverage though you employer or else where.
Beth, I don't know where you got your health insurance, but I got mine for me and two kids and I am over 50 and don't pay half that. Wife don't need coverage. She is coverd by the VA.
