OK for us, not OK for them

From Riehl World View:
Democrats: No Thanks On Public Option
As precious, as it is telling. When faced with an amendment requiring Senate members to join any passed public option, the Democrats declined. But the amendment passed nonetheless. Here's one that will never make it through reconciliation. What's good enough for you is not good enough for them.
On Tuesday, the Senate health committee voted 12-11 in favor of a two-page amendment courtesy of Republican Tom Coburn that would require all Members and their staffs to enroll in any new government-run health plan. Yet all Democrats -- with the exceptions of acting chairman Chris Dodd, Barbara Mikulski and Ted Kennedy via proxy -- voted nay.
These people are out of touch with their employers. Hat tip to Maggie's Farm for the link. Posted by DaveH at July 18, 2009 1:00 PM

Besides being OK's Senator, Coburn is also an MD. Before entering politics, he delivered over 4000 babies. He's also a two-time survivor of cancer. Maybe a health care expert, I'm thinking....
