I received an email today from Congressman John Fleming who is the author of the H. Res. 615. Please see his comments below:
You will be pleased to know that more than 100 Members of Congress joined in support of H. Res. 615, my common sense measure calling on Members who vote for an intrusive government-administered health care plan to enroll in that system. Since launching this effort, nearly 3 million Americans like you have contacted my office in support of H. Res. 615. In response I offered an amendment to the Democratic Leadership health care bill to automatically enroll all Members of Congress and all Senators in the public option. Predictably, my amendment was rejected out of hand by the Majority and was not given a vote on the floor of the House of Representatives.
Common sense seems to have failed us in the health care debate. That is why I offered a resolution asking Members of Congress to put their “money where their mouth is” and call for Members who support a public option lead by example and be required to enroll in the public option themselves. If a Member is willing to vote for such an option, why shouldn’t they enroll in it?
Are you kidding? THEY want US to have a public option health care system but THEY don't want to be a part of it. Oh my, now why is that? If this public option is so WONDERFUL then why are our congressmen not pushing each other over to be first in line to become a part of this plan. Need I say more?
