Congressional Healthcare
II / IX / MMX | pansgold

Posted on 02/09/2010 5:26:28 AM PST by pansgold

Maybe the congress and senate should take a closer look at their health care policy. Judging by sloppy work done by a doctor on at least one member of congress.

It sounds like members of congress could use an upgrade from their current plan to the plan democrats want to impose on us all.

Accidents happen. Carelessness should not.

Murtha’s intestinal infection was caused by the laparoscope nicking his intestine during a gall bladder operation. That being said, Congress has the ULTIMATE Healthcare plan. I’d love it if they extended their plan to every American. As long as the Government isn’t paying. Oh, wait, the Government isn’t paying for the Congressional Healthcare Plan. We are.

You are WRONG. Congress has the same health care plan that I am eligible to use. They pay the same fee as I do. But what you should know is that there are several health care insurance companies bidding for the job. You get to pick the one you personally want and pay the monthly fee. What is different from you offering is that these companies are not restricted to state borders, and that is one of the concessions the Republicans want from the Democrats health care proposed plan.

It should noted that the Federal Health Benefit Program allows the subscribers to select from a number of different plans. Some plans are national (Blue Cross/Blue Shield is an example) - while other plans might be regional (like a co-op/Managed Health Care Plan ....).

The subscriber pays about 30% of the cost - whether it is a low cost option or a high cost option. Also - there is a maximum amount that the Federal government pays - so theoretically, the subscriber share might be greater than 30% if the plan costs exceed a certain amount and the Federal share reaches the capped limit.

Google... Congressman John Murtha killed by careless doctor that couldn’t listen to his patients complaints about a severe gut ache... after the doc sliced an intestine and zipped him up.

Let us know what you find.

I can’t find out. Global warming ya know.

The Gummit’s shut down again in the D.C. at a cost of 100 Million a day. Let’s hope the same for tomorrow. Heck, for the next year.

Think of the trillions we’d save just paying them off like a lobbyist does.

Paid to stay away.
