Every Sen Speaking On The HCR Bill Should Have To First State How Much $$ They Took From HC Insurers

[Blackhatjack]

For example, "I have taken $___ dollars from Healthcare Insurers in the last 12 months before speaking today."

That would put the Senator's comments in the proper perspective.

1. Yes!!! Then they have to agree to exchange their Cadillac plan for the HCR

bill they say is good for us.

[NightWatcher]

2. make them wear suits like racecar drivers

3. I always liked this idea, but some of the Senators would be covered head to toe...

... and walking would be impaired.

4. Great idea, how do we have this implimented? n/t

[endless october]

5. all railing against a public option should have to give up their own public health care

and buy private insurance on the "open" market.

6. Good idea. I got an email this morning from VotingBloc.Org..

They are starting a campaign to have lawmakers give back all money they have received from private insurance for campaign contributions, before they are allowed to vote on and go forward with health reform.

7. Hmm. It sounds like something to write Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi about.

Not that they pay attention, but it should make them feel very uneasy at the least if they are flooded with mail, email and telephone calls about this.

12. That's all well and good, but the money will be returned

to the congresscritter after the voting is done. The congresscritter already knows how much will come back. They shouldn't be allowed to vote on the bill at all if they've received money from the insurance industry, etal. They should be instructed that they have to recuse themselves because of their monetary interests.

8. Full disclosure would be great, it would also be nice to know how many of their

family members work at administrative or higher positions in HC, or are on boards.

[librechik]

9. yes, why doesn't the chairman make them?

I insist!

[dgibby]

10. You are a freakin' genius!

:yourock: :fistbump:

[hedgehog]

11. Maybe one of the supporting senators could use his time to read the list.

[Blackhatjack]

13. Unfortunately I think MORE Senators have taken $$ than those who have NOT...

... but putting it to a vote would astound people by the number of Senators voting against such a proposal.
