The health care... uhhh... health insurance... uhhh... health whatever reform is getting way too complicated. It's time for our elected members of Congress to stand up and be counted.
I propose that we ask every elected member of Congress the following two questions:
- Will you vote for a public option that enables U.S. taxpayers to purchase the same health insurance that is available to you, your family, and all Federal employees? I am not asking for a handout or subsidy or a discount. I am willing to pay my way for exactly the same health insurance that is available to you. How do you respond: yes or no?
- If the member of Congress is unwilling to allow me to purchase the same insurance available to them then please explain why they are willing to protect private health insurance company profits over the health of U.S. taxpayers?
