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.
Couldn't agree more. If single-payer health care is so evil, they shouldn't have it either.
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.
America has the best health care in the world. No other country can match it. Health care isn't the problem. The problem started when the insurance companies went on the stock market. They not only have to show a profit every year but a big one. If not the CEO is gone and no big bonus. It is just like the oil companies. There isn't any competition anymore. They sit down with each other and discuss what they are going to charge and that's what everybody has to pay.
The congressional plan is the most encompassing. They are covered for everything and that is by laws that they made. The difference between you and me if we have the exact same insurance is, we pay for ours and their insurance too. The don't pay for it. The tax payer does. What kind of insurance a lesser government official has, I don't know but I'm willing to bet it isn't as good and the congress critters.
You aren't living in this world. I pay $3600 a year for NO HEALTH CARE AT ALL. That's right, none at all, I don't get a cent of coverage until i have paid $3600 in premiums and an additional $5000 per year for care. That is, btw, about 27% of my PRE-TAX income. So I just don't go to the doctor. I can't afford it. 700,000 people a year lose their homes to health care costs. Most of them are insured.
