Gop Mike Coffman has admitted that single-payer government health care actually works, but he voted against it for everyone else.
Coffman, a Colorado Republican Representative and a former Marine keeps buff at the age of 54. While jogging alone a trail near his home in Colorado, he recently fell and cracked his ankle. The congressman and his wife went to an urgent care clinic in a strip mall where he paid a whopping $30 dollars for a temporary cast and prescription. He later went to the famed Steadman Hawkins Clinic in Vail, where he paid $350 dollars for an
expert opinion, he told the Denver Post.
He said with a laugh that he successfully tested our health care system and "it works".
If he did not have insurance like 45 million Americans, the bill would be closer to $375 ($150 for the visit,
$150 for the splint, and $75 for the X-ray, according to prices quoted at a popular downtown Denver
urgent-care clinic).
The FEHB is a single-payer government-sponsored health care system. The federal government is the single
payer in that system. And, Coffman boasts that, "It Works."
The question is why aren't all Americans entitled to the same health care system as members of Congress, if
those members of Congress acknowledge their system "works"?
