being so goddamn "nice" all the time. It's never gotten us anywhere.
Here's what you should do. Call her, or anyone in his office, back up and say that, if the Great Mr. Feeney is so against "socialized" health care, if he's so convinced that it and SCHIP would do the taxpayers harm (one of the reasons my own dipshit junior senator, John Thune, gave-WTFEVER!), then he can give up his own TAXPAYER-FUNDED federal health insurance. PERIOD. Congress pays UNDER fifty bucks a MONTH for their health insurance, and gets EVERYTHING covered! No hassles with bean counters who think they know better than doctors, no hassles with private insurance executives who want to maximize their profits at the expense of their payees, no pre-existing condition bullshit or anything else like that. And it's paid for courtesy of the very people they're screwing over, the very people who may not be able to afford or get insurance themselves but whose taxes pay for Congress's health care. Ask them why that isn't "socialism", or why that doesn't "harm taxpayers" and private insurerers. I'd love to know their response.
As a matter of fact, I think I'll call Thune's office and do the same. Come to think of it, we ALL should do that with our own congress critters and senators, especially those who refuse to do anything about health care and yammer and fearmonger about "socialized" health care. Let's ask them why THEIR health care isn't "socialized!"
