Let's not forget this shining example of Republican Hypocrisy uttered by our very own Representative Mike Coffman when we watch all the reports tonight about Republicans who want to repeal recently passed health care reforms:Rep. Mike Coffman (R) of Colorado was jogging on Christmas morning when he stepped on something hidden by snow, fell, and ended up on crutches. "I successfully tested our health care system," Coffman said.
"It works."
Of course it does -- for him. Coffman, who has great taxpayer-subsidized insurance as a member of Congress, went for X-rays, found that he'd broken a bone, and received a cast and some painkillers. It cost him a $30 co-pay. A friend of a friend is a specialist, who saw Coffman on short notice and concluded that the conservative lawmaker would not need surgery. The visit to the specialist -- at an exclusive clinic in Vail -- wasn't covered by his insurance, but Coffman, who makes $174,000 a year as a House member, had no trouble paying the $350 out-of-pocket expense. No one, and I mean No One, should let Coffman pretend he's standing on some kind of principle in this debate. And if he ever does stand on principle, it will be on a Taxpayer-Funded, Well-Healed ankle that tested the system........but only for those who make $174 Big Ones and think everyone else has that very same plan. |
