HR 615 - Please forward to everyone you know


Subject: HR 615

On Tuesday, the Senate health committee voted 12-11 in favor of a two-page amendment, courtesy of Republican Tom Coburn which would require all Members of Congress and their staff members to enroll in any new government-run health plan.

Congressman John Fleming has proposed an amendment that would require Congressmen and Senators to take the same health care plan that they would force on us. (Under proposed legislation they are exempt.)

Congressman Fleming is encouraging people to go to his Website and sign his petition. The process is very simple.


Anybody know anything about this? If it's from Wack job Colburn it's got to be idiotic but what do you all think?

2. We kind of suggested that this but I do not trust Colburn either. What

is he up to?

3. the government run plan would be too good for them

I think they should all be required by law to have the same healthplan as the majority of their constituents

4. Actually I think we (Everybody) should all get what ever it is they have now.

5. I think they should have the same as we the citizens

they should have the same America as us...and it shouldn't be only healthcare which is normalized

6. Coburn wants congress members to vote against HCR in order to keep their cadillac plan.
