“If it’s so good, why doesn’t Congress have to be on it?”A Tea Party patriot, Kevin Jackson, asked Rep. Russ Carnahan this poignant question during a town hall meeting in St. Louis, Gateway Pundit reports. Carnahan had no answer. Neither does Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) when Neil Cavuto asks.
Rep. Roy Blunt (R-Miss) thinks that's a great idea. It's time for Congress to put their own selves on the line. If Congress wants Americans on this health care so badly, then they need to enroll in it, too.
"If the majorities really so confident that their plan will provide the very best health care for the people we represent, we ought to demonstrate that confidence by enrolling ourselves."
Sen. Tom Coburn (R-OK) agrees. His amendment asks for a Congressional mandate to participate in the government-run health care.
"Let's demonstrate leadership -- and confidence in the system -- by requiring that every member of Congress go into it."His fellow Congressman, Sen. Jeff Bingaman (D-NM) wasn't jazzed about the idea. "I don't know why we should require ourselves to participate in a plan that no one else needs to participate in. This bill goes to great lengths to show that the choice is there for everybody."
The bill also goes into great lengths establishing a government health care system that will never need to compete or produce a profit, thus putting private insurers out of business. If this passes, competition is over. Private health insurance is gone. Period. And Coburn explained as much.
Besides, if this is Utopian health care, why wouldn't Bingaman jump at the chance to join?
If Obama wanted to awaken a sleeping giant, he did so by kicking it in the ribs. As Congressmen and Obama Administration reps go around the country in town hall meetings, they are being greeted with boos and anger. Americans don't want this. Here's a brief excerpt of the crowd reaction to Obama's Health Secretary Kathleen Sebelius received in Louisiana. Notice the laughter and boos following her explanation. We're not nearly as ignorant as Obama and his cronies want to believe.
Sen. Ben Cardin (D-Maryland) received the same response from his constituents. A man confronted the Senator about a $2,500 fine that will be imposed every year on anyone uninsured.
Freedom's Lighthouse, who had the video, made a valid point to Cardin's response:
Cardin made the ridiculous argument that if he did not have health care insurance and was injured, all the other taxpayers would wind up paying for him. It was a crazy argument because by adopting Obama's plan, Government would be assuming massive liability to provide health care coverage to far more people!And besides that, if the man could get a break on his income taxes and property taxes, he would have more money to...I don't know...buy private insurance. Government is the problem, not the solution. Get them and their greedy hands out of the way and people can take care of their own lives.
Rep. Russ Carnahan (D-Miss) is a funny guy, unintentionally. During his town hall meeting, the audience laughed out loud every time he talked about ObamaCare actually decreasing health care spending. Sorry Carnahan, your constituents are informed. Empty, false sales pitches don't work when people know the truth. Here's the video.
And what will ObamaCare give us, besides higher taxes, bureacracy, and poor quality health care? Well, it'll give us the appreciation of our dear President who thinks, instead of getting that necessary surgery, you should just take a pill. Watch so you'll believe. He tells Jane Sturm, during his ABC Infomercial, that people like her mother, who received a pacemaker at 99 years old is still alive five years later, should probably just take a painkiller.
That, dear Americans, is a sick man. Sick. He has no value of life. It isn't precious, it isn't a gift. It's something to be controlled and mandated. Obama giveth and Obama coldly taketh away.
