Texas Senator Cornyn proposed an amendment last week in the Senate Finance debacles to mandatorily enroll himself and all fellow Senators in the Medicaid program! Wouldn’t they love that?! I loved it.

The committee members voted to soundly defeat it. Gee. Why? They wouldn’t want to be in a program that pays the doctors 40% of what underfunded Medicare does? Cornyn deserves an award for this.

The Congress is proposing to expand the Medicaid program massively in all of the current bills. But none of them would even think of being enrolled personally -- it’s woefully underfunded.
