Question: Who pays insurance premiums for members of

[clydefrand]

Congress?

Just heard John Kerry give Blue Cross Blue Shield a plug as I've heard before today. Could BCBS be contributing to the Dems? Naw, that's too much for a big corporation to do for the Dems, isn't it?

2. we do

he's talking about the same coverage, not the same cost

[Jacobin]

3. Your taxes

[really-looney]

4. Same as most Federal Employees

The Members of Congress pay about 28% of their health care premiums which is the same as the great majority of FEDS. There are some FEDS who have a more generous package(I think the letter carriers)than others but Congress is not one of them

5. We do. The taxpayers.
