Health Law Critic is upset he has to wait for coverage


Andy Harris, Republican, new House Member from Maryland and Health Law Critic, is upset that he has to wait a month for his new health insurance coverage to take effect. He was informed in a briefing last Monday about employee benefits for new members of Congress, staff aides and family members. The Federal Employees Health Benefits plan starts covering new members of Congress and their families about a month after they enroll. Harris is strongly opposed to the new health care law, which he would like to see repealed. So let me understand his position. Representative Andy Harris is complaining that he has to wait a month for health insurance for him and his family that he wants to deny to millions of Americans. The American people deserve the same government provided Health Care benefits as Congress receives.
