If President Obama truly wants to get a health care package passed through Congress, he must first start by taking away the health care plan that he and Congress have. Then set up a new plan that will cover not only Congress but all Americans.

I am pretty confident that most Congress members would rather pass something that will cover those who have no or inadequate coverage rather than give up what they currently have. Try that approach and see what results you get.
