Jofaba reread Yellowfins post you are missing a couple points.
One of the things becoming crystal clear in the healthcare debate is that a large number of our elected leaders seems to feel they are smarter than us and get upset when we hold them accountable. They place themselves on a pedestal and exempt themselves from a variety of laws or use their position as leverage for receiving special treatment. Yellowfin is proposing a way to counteract that superiority complex by saying hey congresscritter or president you aren't so special, let's have you live by the laws you pass and see how that works for them.
