Now this is putting your money where your mouth is.

In a show of solidarity with the 74,000 Missouri residents without health care, Sen. Victor Callahan is voluntarity giving up his health coverage (http://www.thekansascitychannel.com/politics/4461303/detail.html).

Nice gesture, though I wonder if it'll draw enough attention to change anything. I also hope he's single, otherwise he's putting his family at risk.

Whether it works or not, you've gotta admire the guy's principles.

It's a nice gesture, but I doubt it.
