Reform Opponent Gets Free Public Health Care

Rep. Leonard Lance (R-NJ), who opted out of the health care plan available to members of Congress and opposes the new health care reform law over cost concerns — gets free, taxpayer-funded health care at the state level, the Courier-Post reports.

“Lance receives family health coverage that is free except for co-pays… The former state senator, assemblyman and Kean administration official qualified for retirement in 2006, his 25th year of service. He retired in January 2009, when he moved on to Washington, and enrolled in the state’s free health plan for retirees.”

Of course, this way Lance can say he doesn’t support public-funded health care while collecting it himself and making sure his family gets it, too.

A “free state health plan for retirees”… well, not quite free. Some poor taxpayers are covering it as he tries to remove theirs!

    I am sick of them anyway because they are just against any and everything that others stand for and it does not matter how good it may be. It is so sad they will not support our President just because . . . You can fill in the blank because you already know. It is so sad they want but don’t want others to have. What about doing what is good for the least of these, those who can’t help themselves. Yes there are some folks who will abuse the system but that is within all parties.

    Health Insurance – Why has these jokers not been complaining about everyone having to pay for car insurance?

    Life insurance – I wish it was so that everyone was made to have some type of life insurance because everyone is going to die. Oh well.
