Let them have the same plan

Every person in the U.S. should demand that the president and Congress, plus any other government employees who are not included in Social Security and Medicare, vote no for the new national health-care plan now before Congress.

If they aren't willing to accept this coverage, why should the rest of us want it? Their rejection of their own plan should be undeniable evidence that it isn't as good as they pretend. This would indicate that this program is only political and not nearly so good as they are saying, or else they would also want it.

Do we want fairness, or do we want bull?
