Given that the public option for Health Care is so reviled by Congress and the Supreme Court, I propose that all House representatives, senators and Supreme Court Judges no longer receive tax-payer funded health insurance (i.e.- publicly funded healthcare). Keeping in line with their philosophy of the tax-payer funded public option for healthcare, they will be required to put (their own) money where their "mouths" are and buy their own (unsubsidized) healthcare- at their own expense. The money saved would help bring down the deficit, not to mention alleviate the unmitigated hypocrisy by those members.
Why is this important?
Because (most) members of Congress and the Supreme Court have become so removed from the many struggles of everyday Americans (in this case, specifically health care), it is our duty to remind them how that struggle feels. As such, their taxpayer funded health insurance should be rescinded, and they should be required to fully pay for that healthcare themselves.
