The Hill is reporting today that five House Republicans plan to add an amendment to the Democrat’s healthcare bill that would automatically enroll members of Congress in the
public option program.  I think that is a wonderful idea.  Let Congress try it for three or four years, and if it keeps healthcare costs down while providing quality healthcare and not raising taxes, the rest of us can join them.

The article points out:

“The Pelosi health care bill could force millions of Americans off
their current plan and onto the government-run plan, but there are
hypocritical Members of Congress who are not willing to enroll in the
same government plan,” (Steve) Scalise said in his statement. “Speaker Pelosi
and her lieutenants need to put their money where their mouth is and
support our amendment.”

It will be interesting to watch the vote on this amendment.
