State Senator Roy Brown has his health care insurance, and he could care less whether your family has any. Let’s not forget that it was Brown and our own Greg Barkus who tried to reduce by half the number of Montana’s children who would be covered by our SCHIP health care program. Fortunately, they failed at that, but they are still eager to deny equal access to necessary health care to hundreds of thousands of Montanans. Typical Republicans.

I agree. Most elected officials have very little skin in the health care game.
And to those constituents who would kill health care legislation “until Congress participates in the plan they pass” are going to get just that…No healthcare for 36+ million Americans and elected officials with the plan they enjoy now.
