During this recess, I hope more and more citizens ask their Congressmen how come what’s good enough to be forced on us doesn’t seem to be good enough for them. As you recall, there were many resolutions out there that would ensure Congressmen & women onto the public healthcare plan they want to force on us to use.

But big surprise, the Beltway elitists didn’t want to vote in favor of that. You mean Nancy Pelosi who drives SUVs to “save the earfffffff” rallies is a hypocrite????

GASP!!!!!  You. don’t. say.

John Stossel, libertarian and overall McSmartypants, is at it again:

Maybe one reason that Congress demands that health insurance companies must provide levels of coverage that will make their business model unsustainable is because their own coverage is excessive.

and this time with some help from the LA Times to remind us of the facts of what each Congressman gets in their private insurance plan:

A choice of 10 healthcare plans that provide access to a national network of doctors, as well as several HMOs that serve each member’s home state. By contrast, 85% of private companies offering health coverage provide their employees one type of plan — take it or leave it.

Lawmakers also get special treatment at Washington’s federal medical facilities and, for a few hundred dollars a month, access to their own pharmacy and doctors, nurses and medical technicians standing by in an office conveniently located between the House and Senate chambers…

Why can’t everyone enjoy the same benefits as members of Congress? The answer: The country probably couldn’t afford it  …

The plan most favored by federal workers is Blue Cross Blue Shield, which covers a family for about $1,030 a month. Taxpayers kick in $700, and employees pay the rest. Seeing a doctor costs $20. Generic prescriptions cost $10. Immunizations are free. There is no coverage limit…

There is no such thing as a preexisting condition…

If you need further proof, here’s Congressman Paul Ryan clearing up the myth that Congress is under a public plan. Remember this the next time some Congressman is trying to act like he’s “one of the folks” twisting words into making people not mob him and support the sham of Medicare 2.0 aka Obamacare. You’ll hear that a bunch from Congressmen how they want every American to have the same care, but funny when you read the devil in the details the proposed bills on the table are nothing like the private health plans Congressmen use and don’t want to give up.

Congress DOES NOT have a Public healthcare plan. They have access/choice in up to 10 PRIVATE plans. They select that plan and then that is paid through public/taxpayer funds just like their salaries. But their insurance is still private, yeah, that same private insurance Nancy Pelosi says is evil. The same private insurance that gives Congress elite medical care to specialty treatment at Duke University, like the recent Senator Ted Kennedy.
