Now that Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney has selected Paul Ryan as his vice presidential nominee, the Democratic party needs to get out in front of the Republican message on healthcare reform by not only embracing their solution but actively proposing legislation to implement it immediately in small scale demonstrations so that the American people can see between now and a looming November election just how smoothly everything goes when both sides pull together on this issue.

Beginning Monday call on Congressional Democrats to introduce legislation ending government run healthcare for members of the Senate and House of Representatives. The government run healthcare program which Paul Ryan has relied on for more than 20 years must end. It must be replaced by a voucher program where members of congress can purchase their healthcare on the open market. If things must change for the American people, let those who lead, do so by example. Force those who would “reform Medicare as we know it” to save America demonstrate to us all their commitment to heal care vouchers as the best solution by adopting it for their own government run healthcare program.
