NEWS: Weiner to Offer Amendment to End Medicare
Litmus Test for Foes of Government Run Healthcare

Washington, DC – On the 44th anniversary of President Lyndon B. Johnson
signing the Medicare program into law, Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-Brooklyn and
Queens), a member of the Health Subcommittee, announced he will offer an
amendment to the America's Affordable Health Choices Act that would
eliminate the Medicare program. The move comes amid a chorus of Republican
members decrying the notion of government run healthcare.

"It’s put-up or shut-up time for the phonies who deride the so-called
‘public option’," Rep. Weiner said.

Ya gotta love this guy.

The Republicans who denounce government-run healthcare will be forced to
go on record voting either "Aye" or "Nay".

This should prove most enlightening.
