L.A. Congressman Introduces Non-Binding Resolution Urging Congress to Drop Their Healthcare Plan If A Public Plan Is Created by Congress

"Rep. John Fleming (R-La.) introduced a bill Monday that urges members of Congress who vote to create a government-run health insurance agency to give up their own comprehensive health insurance plans to join the new the public option they advocate for others."

While Fleming's bill is currently only a non-binding resolution it is nice to see someone in Congress gets it. Fleming also stated that if healthcare legislation makes it the floor he would propose an amendment to the bill "requiring" rather than simple "encouraging" members of Congress to enroll in the new government plan. http://www.cnsnews.com/public/content/article.aspx?RsrcID=50756
