Surprise amendment stuns Senate during debate over health care for poorBy Doug Grow | Wednesday, May 11, 2011Apparently, what's good for the goose isn't always good for the gander.
Hann sang the praises of the bill: It will save the state money. It will give
the poor more choices. It will improve the health care of the poor. It will get
government out of health care. It's the American way! Sen. Barb
Goodwin She said her amendment would require legislators to test the plan for two
years, before the poor were forced into it. Sen. David Hann As it is, the feds have a number of requirements — "burdensome mandates,"
according to Hann — if states want federal financial support of state health
care programs. The voucher system the state GOP is pushing apparently falls
short in matching federal requirements for what health programs should offer.
Sen. Linda
Berglin Berglin, who fights so hard for the poor, said the Goodwin amendment was as
unacceptable as the GOP voucher plan in general. Legislature | Wed,

Maybe they should have offered the same amendment in the Congress so that they and President Obama could have joined the wonderful healthcare plan that they layed out for all of us. |

Couldn't agree more. If it's good for the voters, it's good for their representatives who chose it. they are supposed to be our servants, not the other way around!!!

Mr P,
Make that one the 29th, I think a term-limit amendment for members of Congress should come before that.
