Time for a Switch Pitch. Time for members of Congress attacking "government health care" to put up or shut up. I believe that it is time to take to the phones and the town halls and ask members of Congress to take specific action against government health care. Enough with all the talk. Time for these members to take action. Starting immediately.
And that action is for individual members of Congress to switch health insurance coverage to private coverage from the public option of the Federal Employee Health Plan or any plan designed to cover members of Congress.
The action alert is to call each member of Congress not presently on record in favor of health care reform including the public option. And not one time. Every day. You want a debate. Great. Let's have it.
And let's start that debate with why the public option is bad for America, but good for you. Put your health coverage where your mouth is. You don't want to do anything "hasty"? No problem. Just take your eggs out of the public option in existence that covers your proverbial butt while you leave everyone else's rear hanging in the breeze.
All day, every day. Ringing the members' phones. In Washington. In the local offices. "When is the Congressman going to give up his public option, taxpayer funded health care?" "When is the Congresswoman going to switch her health insurance coverage into the private sector, sans tax dollars?"
Think the public option is so bad? Quit it. Congressman, I know that you don't want some government bureacrat making decisions about your healthcare. Right?
So, all day, every day. Because we owe you the same courage of convictions that you have shown to us. I would hate for you to have government dictating your health care choices and decisions while the debate about health care rages.
When will you switch?
We are calling to find out.
