Rep. Earl Blumenauer [D-Ore] – Good Democrat

Posted By JM Bell on December 4, 2009

Stealing from JasonThe again – because he summed everything up quite well.

Witty. Rep. Earl Blumenauer sends up a bill:

“Until health reform is enacted,” Blumenauer [D-Ore] added, “Members of Congress should get to experience the tender mercies of our fragmented, complex and exploitative health care system.”

Blumenauer’s bill will go nowhere, of course, but it drives a valid point home.

Grandstanding GOPers, what with their faith in the wonderful “market” of our current health care system — evidenced in their mindless desire to protect it — should be willing to dip their own toes in the status quo they seek to maintain.
