Do you trust legislators writing a health plan or should they just monitor plans and have no personal interest

?????? asked the question:


Why is it fair for legislators to have unlimited health care without paying tax or co-pays, yet they pass rules to limit health care of tax payers?
Medicare eligibility for assistance with nursing home payments requires that a patient be admitted three times for over night care, otherwise patient will be responsible for full payment of nursing home stay.
Yet in 1994, legislation was passed to give senators unlimited health care for the rest of their life at tax payers expense and freedom to not pay taxes for social security and Medicare (FICA taxes).
1)Isn’t it unfair and somehow unconstitutional for legislators to be in charge of their pay and benefits while passing medical bills that limit care to those who paid taxes?
2)Before 1994 senators, VP and the president collected social security and Medicare. Did the American people vote for this?
3)Are all or any legislators specially educated or trained in health care making them experts to pass eligibility rules rather than monitoring insurances to assure all are constitutionally fair?
4)In a life time an average person working 45 years will pay an average of $120,000 in FICA taxes and an additional $290,000 in insurance premium co-pays. A percentage of people die before ever using Medicare benefits. Why is it fair to limit healthcare for tax payers and not our legislators and president. (Did Clinton’s multiple heart surgeries leave the Clintons in financial ruin?)
5)Do you trust legislation to write a policy for everyone? Or would you prefer legislation monitor all health insurances for fairness and reliability?
PS: Homegirl, should tax payers be flipping the entire medical bills for politicians and their families while being denied basic care for oursleves?

    Good question but you spoiled the effect by mentioning Clinton’s heart surgery without mentioning Cheney’s many heart procedures at taxpayer expense.

    We should demand the same health coverage that the Congress has for all citizens and legal residents.
