Now you are threatening elected officials? You really are a Republican
asshole.

Senators and Representatives have access to the same federal health
care programs as other federal employees. There is language in several
of the proposals to bring the FEHBA program in under the new programs,
but certainly not to eliminate it or drastically alter it.

Why not let everyone have access to the FEHBA program. Just think how
low the rates would be with 300 million people in that plan. All it
takes is a simple one page bill from Congress.



Your side controlled government for the last eight years...why didn't
the Republicans do this?

BTW, you're not under the delusion that government employees receive the
blue chip plans that are available under FEHBA without having to pay for
a percentage of the premium, are you?

For many years, I thought it would be a good idea to extend access to
FEHBA to non-governmental employers and employees. I'm not so sure
anymore. I think the health insurance companies, the chain hospital
companies and other entities who are gouging the public and employers
need to be taken down a few notches, and simply extending a good health
insurance program won't do that.
