Health care for members of congress
In spite of all the discussions about changes needed in our health care system the fact remains that what ever changes occur they will not apply to any of our Congress members. They have assurred that they maintain their own separate system outside of the system they are establishing for all other Americans. This is outrageous and generally hidden from the public! Members of Congress should receive their healthcare through the same system as all other Americans. We encourage you to make your wishes known to your Senate and House of Representative members.

The same "system" of "All other Americans" is a hodge-podge of private Insurance Companies, operating by marketing to select (read:healthy,disease-free, w/o pre-existing conditions-or ore-existing conditions EXCLUDED)individuals, or through employer sponsored "Group" plans. Within those categories, there are PPO's,HMO's. POS's, co-ops & God knows what else.
ReplyDeleteEach of these various forms of Health Insurance providers has any number of combinations of co-pays, deductibles, exclusions,maximum plan payments, etc., rendering an inexhaustible number of possible Health Insurance Plans.
Tell me again, which healthcare plan (system) should Congress receive their healthcarethrough that would b"Be the same system as ALL other Americans?
Oh, does the 35 million UNINSURED Americans qualify for potential inclusion for Congress to adopt? You might want to talk to your Congress person on that idea.
