Boehner Health Care Hypocrisy

It has been reported by the media and blogged about by many on the Internet that the Orange Man and his minions have decided that what is best for this country is to deny affordable health care to the hoi polloi - the unwashed masses, the commoners. Marie Antoinette would be proud of this "let them eat cake" attitude of Boehner and company. We mustn't forget that Marie lost her head because of this arrogant attitude espoused by the French aristocracy.

Thankfully, we have moved beyond the guillotine days, but it would be refreshing to see Boehner lead by example. CREDO Action has a splendid suggestion:

"Who would have the audacity to vote for repealing affordable health care for 32 million Americans while gladly accepting generous, federally subsidized insurance for themselves?

Speaker of the House John Boehner who led the effort — along with 236 other congressional health care hypocrites.

Over the past two years, especially during the election season, Republicans and a select few Democrats did everything they could to derail health care reform. They fueled fears and misinformation, throwing around terms like "socialist," "fascist," "government takeover," and of course "death panels."

Now they've fulfilled their campaign promise and voted for a full repeal. But what most, like Boehner, haven't done is given up the affordable, subsidized care that they voted yesterday to deny so many of us.

Call out the health care hypocrisy by sending Speaker Boehner the actual form he can submit to cancel his federal health insurance. Click here to automatically sign and we'll deliver your message to him."

I signed the form and I encourage all Oracle readers to follow suit. What's good for the goosee should be good for the gooser. Don't you think?
