Should Members of Congress be forced to enroll themselves in the same health care plan they vote for?

Please take a minute and go to this site and sign Congressman Fleming's petition,

On Tuesday, the Senate health committee voted 12-11 in favor of a two-page amendment, courtesy of Republican Tom Coburn which would require all Members of Congress and their staff members to enroll in any new government-run health plan.

Congressman John Fleming (Louisiana physician) has proposed an amendment that would require Congressmen and Senators to take the same health care plan that they would force on us. (Under proposed legislation they are exempt.)

Congressman Fleming is encouraging people to go to his Website and sign his petition. The process is very simple. I have done just that at:

If Congress forces a "health care plan" on us, they should have to accept the same level of health care for themselves and their families.
