What Health Care Coverage Does A Congressman Have? What Happens To It When They Leave Office?

America faces a health care crisis. How can Congress or the Senate much care if they have top notch health care coverage and the taxpayers pay for it?

  1. They have a non-contributory full family medical plan, including 100% prescription drug coverage, with no copayments and no deductible.
    If they serve more than 1 1/2 terms they get it as a retirement benefit for life at no cost.

    They have a 100 percent covered plan for them and their families for life (assuming they serve at least 6 years), along with an excellent pension plan for life.
    They will care about the crisis if it is something the voters want! After all, if they are not acting in the interest of the voters, they will lose their seat and their health care plan.
    Unfortunately, there is so much disagreement between the "left" and the "right" that it is difficult for congress to do anything. In addition, many people (even those who truly need health care reforms) vote based on moral values, leaving health care to be ignored.
