When are we going to repeal Congress' health insurance?

It's always been a mystery to me why Congress gets its own government-run, special rights, health care plan. If there is any indication that Congress isn't going to come through with a comprehensive health care plan that benefits ALL of us, we should begin a push to repeal their government health coverage. Let the members of Congress and their staff do what Joe and I do. Call up Blue Cross and get your own damn health insurance. And when Blue Cross tells you that they won't cover your prescriptions beyond $1500 a year, because they're cheap skates, that they're going to hike your premiums 600% because you moved to another state, then we'll see how opposed you are to a comprehensive solution.

Actually, there's no reason to wait. We know there's at least a 50-50 chance that the Dems, and many of our health care advocates, will cave and accept, at best, half a loaf. We should start the push to repeal their health coverage now. It would cause quite a stir in the news, and I'd love to see members of Congress on both sides of the aisle explain why they deserve a government handout that they refuse to give the rest of the country. And just think of the money the government would save!
