I guess some hypocrisy knows no bounds. You often see Republicans screaming about the ills of government involved in health care but what people seldom hear about is that those same outraged politicians have GOVERNMENT sponsored HEALTH CARE through the Office of Personnel Management's FEHB.
Republican Congressman and physician, Andy Harris, has spouted off about not getting his government sponsored health insurance until 28 days after he is sworn into office. He is outraged. Well, good sir, with all due respect, there will be tens of millions of Americans that go without health care for the entire next year and tens of millions more that will have lapses in coverage or are under insured.
As Robert Gibbs said, the rhetoric doesn't match the reality when it is YOUR health care that is in question, government or not. Let no American go without health insurance!
