On Saturday, I attended a town hall meeting in Mount Vernon with Rep. Rick Larsen in attendance. The crowd was very large with most of those attending forced to stand in the grass outside the meeting room at the Skagit PUD building.
The first question asked of the congressman was, “If this health care plan is so wonderful, then why doesn’t Congress participate in it, too”?
After a little dancing, Larsen replied, “We are prohibited by law from being included in this plan. Next question.”
Outrageous and unacceptable, Congressman.
Congress enacted that law you reference. So, until you folks in Congress pass a law repealing that law, then stay the hell out of my medical life.
