Democrats Protect Themselves, Not the Public from Government-Run Plan
Democrats voted against an amendment offered by Rep. Dean Heller (R-NV) to require all Members of Congress to get insurance through the government-run plan – proving Democrats do not think the government-plan will provide quality health care. Republicans voted in favor of the amendment, believing if it is good enough for the American people, it should be good enough for Member of Congress.
This amendment to ensure Members of Congress don’t exempt themselves from the government-run plan was defeated 21-18
