Checked this out on snopes but could not find anything...but if it is true the world needs to know just how they feel...is this where a picture is worth a 1000 words...
Riegels Rant
HE $64,000 QUESTION ANSWERED
FINALLY..... THE $64,000 WAS ASKED.
YESTERDAY ON "ABC-TV" (BETTER KNOWN AS THE ALL BARRACK CHANNEL)
DURING THE "NETWORK SPECIAL ON HEALTH CARE".... OBAMA WAS ASKED:
"MR. PRESIDENT WILL YOU AND YOUR FAMILY GIVE UP YOUR CURRENT HEALTH CARE PROGRAM AND JOIN THE NEW 'UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE PROGRAM' THAT THE REST OF US WILL BE ON ????"..... (Gee, let me guess what he said)
THERE WAS A STONEY SILENCE AS OBAMA IGNORED THE QUESTION AND CHOSE NOT TO ANSWER IT....
IN ADDITION, A NUMBER OF SENATORS WERE ASKED THE SAME QUESTION AND THEIR RESPONSE WAS..."WE WILL THINK ABOUT IT."
AND THEY DID. IT WAS ANNOUNCED TODAY ON THE NEWS THAT THE "KENNEDY HEALTH CARE BILL" WAS WRITTEN INTO THE NEW HEALTH CARE REFORM INITIATIVE, ENSURING THAT THAT CONGRESS WILL BE 100% EXEMPT ! This should speak volumes to all of us.
SO, THIS GREAT NEW HEALTH CARE PLAN THAT IS GOOD FOR YOU AND ME... IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR OBAMA, HIS FAMILY OR CONGRESS...?? WE (THE AMERICAN PUBLIC) NEED TO STOP THIS PROPOSED DEBACLE ASAP !!!!... THIS IS TOTALLY WRONG !!!!!

Al,
Here is the link to the Snopes analysis http://www.snopes.com/politics/medical/network.asp
Their analysis is that the $64,000Question story is Mostly False.
The question I next go to is this: Would Federal emplyees be subject to taxes (that they would pay out of their paychecks) on their rich healthcare plan, just as some or all of the proposed plans contemplate for "rich" private employer plans? No on gets a better deal than they do.
I would also propose that, since Obama continually states that everyone needs to participate in the solution/cost, the Federal plan should be revised to come closer to real world plans. The notion that Federal employees or state employees are under-compensated is antiquated. No commercial enterprise that I am aware of let's employees retire after 30 years of service with full retirement in a defined benefits program with inflation indexing. We need change now in the compensation system for public employees.

Here! Here!
I agree 100% wih Hags comments.
Well then lets go with the snopes thing and say it is 100% false...the question still remains then...will "ALL" Federal employees go with the health care program, whatever it ends up to be, that will be proposed to the American people...my bet is NOT...they are to good for that...WAKE UP AMERICA WE ARE GETTING BENT OVER THE KITCHEN TABLE...now the question will be "how will it feel"
Why the kitchen table?
