[URL=.html][IMG][/IMG][/URL]

Why do WE THE PEOPLE have to beg and fight for a good MEDICAL INSURANCE PLAN that all the members of Congress already have? Are they BETTER THAN YOU AND ME?

That is correct. Congress members have to use the ACA exchanges. subterranean Nov 2016 #4

As far as I can tell, which ain't much, if congress critters do not have health insurance some other way, private policy, spouse, etc, they must sign up for ACA..

What we SHOULD demand is 'Medicare For All."

Done.

As I recall, Chuck Grassley proposed that amendment to the bill, hoping to make Democrats look bad by opposing it, but they called his bluff.

They sell us out to lobbyist yet because of their power they believe they are better than us and deserve whatever they can get.

You know that 6 months after removing their exclusive right to commit insider trading legally, as a result of a backlash when it was publicized, they quietly passed a law giving them the right to legally insider trade again.

The heartless bastards are making the "die quickly" line into the truth when they go for Medicare and SS. How many deaths will be caused by voucher system? The shit is about to get real!
