Government Health Insurance
ICongressmen who repeal "Obamacare" shall also refuse government paid health insurance for themselves.
Why is this important?
The people (congressmen) against "Obamacare" should pledge to refuse their government health insurance along with their vote to repeal "Obamacare" . It is too easy for the well covered to deny health insurance for the poor when they are taking advantage of a benefit for themselves. When my husband almost died from an infection we found ourselves bombarded with bills not knowing if we would be reimbursed by our insurance, he was but it took months - In our little town of western NY, almost every supermarket has jars on the counters collecting funds to help someone pay for their serious medical bills or organizing spaghetti dinners in the fire hall to pay for medical bills for someone. Would a congressman like to depend on spaghetti dinners to pay for their medical bills ?
