Give them the boot

Recently there has been a lot of news coverage about Congress and health care. The news item I would like to see is: American public puts its collective boot so far up Congress’s rear end that members will have to use their excellent health care plan to go to the hospital to have it removed.

If that came to pass, I think we might see some meaningful progress on health care. Maybe even on tax reform, immigration, etc.
