EXCERPT: A recent Public Policy Polling survey found that 53 percent of voters -- including 58 percent of Republicans -- believe lawmakers who ran against government health care should uphold their views and purchase their own.
Two newly-elected Republicans -- Bobby Schilling (IL) and Mike Kelly (PA) -- have so far pledged to give up their government-provided health care and purchase their own. But Speaker-elect John Boehner (R-OH) has declined to do so.
In a remarkable instance last month, a Republican doctor from Maryland elected after campaigning against health care reform was reportedly irritated that his government-provided health care would only kick in weeks after he was sworn in. (This is typical of Republican thinking!)
