My Pop sent me this email. His first communication with me since HCR passed:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On Tuesday, the Senate health committee voted 12-11 in favor of a two-page
amendment 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.
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 email). I have just done just that at:
http://www.fleming.house.gov/index.cfm?sectionid=55Please urge as many people as you can to do the same!
If Congress forces this on the American people, the Congress 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!!.

I don't think he understands what HCR is. It isn't a government run health care plan is it? Any help responding to this would be greatly appreciated. And apologies if this is old news....looks to have been passed around a lot actually.
What say you DU?
