In this video Congressman Rob Woodall (R-GA), first tells one woman, apparently retired from a company that doesn't provide health care benefits for retirees, that she shouldn't expect government health care because he needs to take care of himself. I'm guessing this is a reference to his tax rate. Minutes later, he tells another woman that he accepts the government health care benefits that come with his job because they're "free."
No, these programs are not "free." Other people are picking up his tab -- taxpayers.
In questions asked by the media after the meeting, the Congressman said he chose the cheapest plan available to him, and that he supports members of Congress also participating in free-market health care programs. Apparently, just not now.
