Re: Insurance thoughts

No, but since the administration just said retirees coverage should be
dropped by employers due to the fact they are covered by Medicare, the same
should apply for congressmen and senators. I do not want to pay their
medical bills, thank you very much, I have plenty of my own to pay since my
insurance doesn't.

I doubt that they have carte blanche in their medical care. But even if
they did, that doesn't mean that the health insurance carried by the most
prestigious of people should be offered to every single person in the
country. For example, do you think that the government, who deeply
subsidizes public colleges, should pay students' tuition at Stanford,
Harvard, etc. because some kids get to go there? I hope not.
