Congress can take a stand to the WARPIGS.
By voting against war funding until strong health care reform is done.

Tie the 2 together.

NO WAR FUNDING UNTIL HEALTH CARE REFORM IS ACHIEVED.

Might even force a few Rethugs to vote for HC reform if we threaten to cut off funding for the love of their political lives- warmongering.

7. Congress by and large *are* the WAR PIGS..
Consider that Eisenhower's penultimate draft of his famous speech referenced the "military industrial congressional complex".
