Discontinue Medical Benefits for Congress and the Senate until Single Payer Health CARE is passed.

Why Is This Idea Important?: Because the average citizen will get NOTHING from representatives that don't have to worry about their healthcare. Cut OFF their privileges - to remind them exactly WHO they work for. If the citizenry has to suffer - so do THEY.

Many representatives work hand in hand to KEEP single payer health care from even being represented at meetings. And they also take huge amounts of money in contributions from HMO, Big Pharma and other medical groups. WHY should WE be giving benefits to representatives who work to keep the public from getting help?
