Besides trillions on an insurance plan that still won't cover 2/3 of uninsured Americans, there is another detail in the ObamaCare plan sponsored by Senator Teddy the Hutt (D-Dead mistress in his sunken Oldsmobile) that should lead every American to oppose it.

This legislation -- the Affordable Health Choices Act that's being drafted by Sen. Edward Kennedy's staff and the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee -- will push Americans into stingy insurance plans with tight, HMO-style controls. It specifically exempts members of Congress (along with federal employees; the exemptions are in section 3116).

I call BULLSHIT! If this mandatory system isn't good enough for our elected representatives and the federal employees who subsist on our tax dollars, then it isn't good enough for the rest of the American people. Either require that all federal elected officials, their appointees, and other federal employees be subject to ObamaCare BEFORE the rest of the American public to show the effectiveness and efficiency of the new plan -- thereby boosting public confidence in it -- or don't pass it at all. After all, WE, THE PEOPLE are the sovereigns in this country, and those who are our servants should not get better than we do using our tax dollars while we are denied the same choices they have.
