'Dr. No' John Kline

Rep. John Kline is still voting NO on everything...if we followed his lead, there would be no schools, no streets to drive on, buses to ride on, air to breath, water to drink, and certainly NO Health Care!...er...well except for his tax payer -super funded- government provided health care...

"As soon as members of Congress are sworn in, they may participate in the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program (FEHBP). The program offers an assortment of health plans from which to choose, including fee-for-service, point-of-service, and health maintenance organizations (HMOs). In addition, Congress members can also insure their spouses and their dependents.

Not only does Congress get to choose from a wide range of plans, but there’s no waiting period. Unlike many Americans who must struggle against precondition clauses or are even denied coverage because of those preconditions, Senators and Representatives are covered no matter what - effective immediately.

And here’s the best part. The government pays up to 75 percent of the premium. That government, of course, is funded by taxpayers, the same taxpayers who often cannot afford health care themselves "


Yeah that's the ticket...Kline gets only the best government based care...meanwhile the rest of us can read his lips...NO.
