The Hill<\/a> is reporting today that Senator Sherrod Brown’s
\n(D-Ohio), Senator Chris Dodd (D-Conn.) and Senator Barbara Mikulski (D-Md.)are planning to sign on to Republican Senators Tom Coburn of Oklahoma and David Vitter of Louisiana’s amendment that would require lawmakers to join a public
\ninsurance plan included in healthcare legislation.  <\/p>\n

The article states:<\/p>\n

\n

“A Coburn spokesman, however, pointed out that Brown actually
\nvoted against the Coburn amendment when the Senate Health, Education, Labor and
\nPensions (HELP) Committee debated it.
<\/i><\/p>\n

“”We’re delighted to have Sen. Brown’s support of Dr. Coburn’s
\namendment, particularly after he voted against it in HELP Committee,” said
\nspokesman John Hart. “We’re glad that he shares our view that members of
\nCongress should lead by example and enroll themselves in the public
\noption.””<\/p>\n

<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If members of Congress are willing to lead by example and be covered by their own health insurance bill, I might be willing to take another look at the bill.  Until then, I remain skeptical.<\/p>\n
