Still waiting for an answer, congressman
While the health care debate continues to rage on in the Senate, I still have not received an answer to a question I posed in a letter to Rep. Bill Foster the day after his brief, telephonic town hall meeting over two months ago.
The question is: "If the health care bill you supported and recently passed by the House is so good for Americans, why aren't you, the rest of Congress, and the entire Obama administration, volunteering to be covered by the 'public option?'"
The answer that no one who currently has health insurance (and we all know their coverage is "gold plated" for life), will be required to change, is not good enough. My question really is one about leadership, which occurs out front, not from the rear.
