Healthcare Reform
 

Dear President Obama,
If your Healthcare Reform Plan is GREAT, why does it EXEMPT YOU, Michelle, Congress, the Senate, and their families?
Respectfully,

Congress is comprised of the House of Representatives and the Senate.

Lots of people incorrectly refer to the House of Representatives as "Congress", when Congress is actually both houses; The Senate and the House.

You knew what she meant though, you nudge you.

It's hard for me to remember how to verbalize this stuff correctly, since in my mind they are mostly just LIARS and CROOKS and BOOBS!

Those would be more accurate names, but for now we'll have to stick with "The Senate and the "House of Representative" :)

Anyway...I didn't mention all the other groups that have gotten exemptions-
-- United Food and Commercial Workers Allied Trade Health and Welfare Trust Fund
-- International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Union No. 915
-- Asbestos Workers Local 53 Welfare Fund
-- Employees Security Fund
-- Plumbers and Pipefitters Local 123 Welfare Fund
-- United Food and Commercial Workers Local 227
-- United Food and Commercial Workers Local 455 (Maximus)
-- United Food and Commercial Workers Local 1262
-- Musicians Health Fund Local 802
-- Hospitality Benefit Fund Local 17
-- Transport Workers Union
-- United Federation of Teachers Welfare Fund
-- International Union of Painters and Allied Trades (AFL-CIO)
-- Plus two organizations that appear to be chapters of the International Longshoremen's Association (ILA)

There are 1100 so far, this is just a sample of the list

The problem is not just that they are exempted from all "government, single-payer" proposals, but they vote themselves the best "cadillac" PRIVATE insurance plans "other people's money" can buy.
