A sent this link to a liberal friend of mine, and she wrote back:
“Don’t the members of Congress get their health insurance through the Federal Employees Health Plan that insures 8.5 million federal employees and dependents? It’s certainly a great health plan by the standards of non federal employees options, but it isn’t “just” for Congress.
Maybe we should do away entirely with employer sponsored health insurance. I don’t think many people have a good idea what their health insurance costs their employer and what it would cost them to obtain it on their own. Hence, a false sense of security about our current largely employer sponsored system.”
Thanks for your thoughtful post.
A) Congress has a five star hospital IN THE CAPITOL BUILDING feet away from their offices, plus instant access to state of the art High tech at Bethesda Naval and Walter Reid Hospitals.
You know, all the care and access Obama/Reid/Pelosi want to deny you and your family.
B)Medical Savings Accounts and Catastropphic care insurance are a market solution, but anathema to socialist thugs.
