GOP Senator Seeks to Require Congress to Join Potential Health Reform Public Plan - Political News - FOXNews.com: "Sen. Tom Coburn, a fierce opponent of a public option for health care reform, has introduced an amendment requiring all lawmakers to enroll in the plan if it is included in a final bill that is passed.
'So that we feel the same effects of that plan as every other American that ends up in it and the data shows that a 104 million Americans are going to end up in that plan, so what's good for us ought to be good for everybody else,' the Oklahoma Republican and doctor said.
While the amendment evokes the old goose and gander adage, some Democrats are crying 'fowl.'
They say the premise of the amendment is flawed because it suggests that the public option will be the only plan available."
