If it's too costly to have all Americans under the plan Congress has,

[Deja Q]

should Congress have the same plan too?

1. Too costly for us, then it's too costly for them too. Cut their plan down

to one size that fits all Americans. We don't have no royalty here so live with it!

2. If drug companies and Health Services

were not so costly, we COULD all have it. I have complete coverage, Medicare and my BC/BS. When I retired the requirement was I had to take Medicare. I get the same coverage I did before I retired but, I have to pay for Medicare 98 dollars a month and BC/BS 90 dollars. I know that is cheap compared to some plans but as you can see my medical cover doubled when I retired. My coverage is no different it just costs more.

3. Congress should have Medicaid now, and have the same as we have in the future. nt

4. why should Congress have a lifetime plan at all?

I don't know of any people who leave jobs that keep their insurance beyond a few months. Why the hell should the taxpayers be paying for health care for ANYONE who has left office - even the president.

And WHY they should have such a good plan when everyone else in the country is having their plans adjusted or tossed because of costs -- last time I looked we tossed out royalty during the Revolution.

This is yet another reason why we need big changes in THEIR priviledges. Edwards has it right -- they need to have their *goodies* yanked to understand fully what the working class in this country is going through.

I'd love to see a nationwide referendum vote on pulling the healthcare and retirement priviledges of all our *representatives* in Washington. I'll bet there would be a rush to vote in that case.

5. What's good enough for us, is good enough for them. I say we

should demand they have to pay out the ass for some bull shit sub standard HMO insurance plan that deny payments..

6. Not according to Krugman, that corporatist traitor.
