Congressman John Fleming (a Louisiana physician) has proposed an amendment (HR 615) that would require Congressmen and Senators to take the same healthcare plan that will result from any proposed healthcare reform legislation.

So far 91 Congressmen from both parties have signed on to the amendment. That includes Ginny Brown-Waite from Florida's 5th district, the Congresswoman for most of The Villages.

Props to Ginny. She's doing the right thing. Probably not enough to get my vote next year under my new policy of never voting for an incumbent, but the right thing nonetheless.
