I want every member of Congress to accept the health care bill that they pass.
DOES ANYONE AGREE WITH ME?
I totally agree. Everyone should have to have it including the President and everyone else in office. If it is a govt controlled healthcare plan it should include EVERYONE!!!
And why don’t they want it????????? Are they saying they are better than us??????
