I find the amendments to the health care bill that were voted down to be really revealing.

Democrats also voted down an amendment from Rep. Dean Heller (R-Nv.) that would require all Members of Congress to get insurance through the government-run plan. Apparently Democrat members of Congress do not like the government plan they’re trying to inflict on the rest of us. In a straight party line vote, Democrats voted against exempting themselves from the government-run plan by a vote of 21-18.

“We also had an amendment to require that members of Congress must participate in the government-run plan,” Camp said. “If it’s such a great idea, it should be a great idea for members of Congress. The majority voted to prevent that from happening. They voted to exempt members of Congress from the government-run plan.”

Also voted down were amendments that would require proof of citizenship or legal status to sign up for the government plan, that would bar government funding abortion as a plan “benefit,” and an amendment that would bar rationing of health care based on comparative effectiveness data.

Got that, folks.

The insurance your congresscritters say is good enough for you is not good enough for them -- after all, if they were creating a plan that was so great, they would want to guarantee their inclusion. Just one more example of Congress exempting itself from the laws they pass for you.

They also want you to pay for insurance for every single illegal alien.

And they refused to ban rationing of treatment.

But don't worry -- they did vote to make sure that abortion will be covered by ObamaCare, even though the long-standing policy of this nation has been to exclude abortion from government medical programs out of respect for the beliefs of a majority of Americans. The Obama Regime even admits it.

Just another reason to stand firmly against Obama's medical boondoggle.
