He will be just fine, don’t forget, he has the ‘Special Congressional” health insurance.
Free to Congress and illegal aliens.
The American citizens that pay his salary are paying to save his rear-end. He has the Gold Card of insurance. I have to work my rear end off to pay our bills so my wife won’t die AND we will not lose our house in this Obama economy.
BTW, my wife is battling breast cancer and we do not have his ‘privileged’ care. Meanwhile, we struggle every day.
Representatives and Senators purchase private health insurance through Federal Employees Health Benefits Program, the same program available to other government workers.
The plans include fee-for-service plans, HMOs and PPOs, and high-deductible, tax-advantaged plans - just about every type of private plan offered.
Subscriber costs are about the same as the insurance we have through my wife's major corporate employer, around $350 per/mo BC/BS fee-for-service family pan.
These are nice plans and as a self-employed person if I could not get on my wife's plan I would be delighted to be eligible for such a program, but there is nothing "special" about it compared to what's available in in the private sector compared to any other organization big enough to have substantial bargaining power.
