You got that right! You won't see that plan leaving anytime soon. I don' think we should allow a govt. plan until they relinquish theirs. Then it would never happen. Let's not be fooled by Congress.

A lot of people suffer under the delusion that congress has this fabulous health insurance plan. I'm a single retired government employee and I have A plain old vanilla Blue Cross plan that costs me as of now (it goes up every year) $1625 a year. And I have a $300 deductible and co-pays for everything, which gets worse every year. Same plan as Congress unless they choose the HBO's which are a little cheaper but you can't choose your doctor and have to have referrals. My son, his wife and daughter have Blue Cross for about $800.00 a month. The problem is that people who don't have health insurance want those of us who do to accept crappy insurance so they can get free insurance. The people that yell the loudest are usually the ones on welfare. My son, who's a nurse and works in an emergency room, gets angry at runny noses that show up at taxpayer expense. Your expense. I think all children and all elderly should be covered. We already have laws in place to cover people who lose their jobs.
