Did the King and Queen in days of old have the same medical care as their subjects?

Of course not.

The President and Congress are America’s royalty. They deserve the best health care the taxpayers money can buy for them.

You're close in your analogy -- the king had his own personal physician, currently, so does the sitting U.S. president. The nobility had the highest quality physicians, treatment, provided to them, as everything else they had, wore, ate, etc., by the serfs, just as MOC's are provided their benefits by virtue of the sweat of the brow of the citizenry.

The only difference, then the serfs were lucky if they got the attention of the local barber, we citizens still have the opportunity to provide quality care for ourselves, it is available to us to access. This will not be the case when/if this bill passes, at some point, the access to quality health care for the citizen will no longer exist ...

... and we know it, that is what the furor is all about. We fought a war to dissolve our allegiance to that system, our Founders knew firsthand the unfairness, to put it mildly, far too many of us understand, really, what the revolution was all about.

It doesn’t help that our elected king is making no secret of enjoying living so high on the hog. He is noveau-riche personified, he and his vulgar wife.

A little off the sides and remove that growth on my leg.
