Holding to Principles

After that fun moment with freshman Rep. Andy Harris, some Dem activists have been encouraging congressional Republicans who oppose Health Care Reform to forego their government-subsidized health care benefits. After all, fighting the scourge of Obamacare starts at home.

Interestingly, though, Republican voters agree. Republicans across the country overwhelmingly agree that Republicans on Capitol Hill should give up their government-provided health insurance.

28% of Republicans say take the benefits; 58% say don’t.
