Ask him how much his deductible is. Ask him what the best plan for you is. Ask him why he shut down the government while you are at it. Paul Broun needs to be held accountable for holding the United States Government hostage.  Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Note® II -------- Original message -------- From: "Congressman Paul Broun, M.D." <rep.paul.broun@mail.house.gov> Date: 10/03/2013 10:06 AM (GMT-05:00) To: danjmatt@bellsouth.net Subject: Constituent Service Days Start **Next Monday** Congressman Paul Broun, M.D. A Message from Congressman Paul Broun Constituent Service Days Start **Next Monday** ...
