Any petitions to suspend Congress' healthcare plan?

[elizm]

Anyone know of any movements in that direction? Perhaps if taxpayers were no longer willing to fund their plan, they might be willing to come up with something for the rest of us.

1. I don't think the Congress is going to adhere to a petition

2. Of course they won't. The idea is the message. nt

3. Let's go for broke.

Let's not just tie Congress' health care plan to a public health care plan for all citizens, but let's address Congressional compensation in the same package/petition.

I say we tie it to minimum wage (x5). The way I see it, if Congress reasoning is they need more to live on because they need to "maintain two homes", and minimum wage is, based on their belief, enough for an American to live on, then they should ONLY be getting minimum wage (x2). But, considering the hours, travel, and high cost of living in Washington D.C., I'm willing to be generous and give them minimum wage (x5).

Once that correlation is made, if they feel the need to raise their wages up to their current level, fine, but they also need to raise minimum wage to 1/5 their pay.

And give US citizens the same government subsidized health care package they receive.
