And now just compare that to this:
” Theirs is such an effective system that not a single member of the
hypocongress has been willing to give it up — even though they surely

enjoying the very program they so adamantly reject for you… “once sworn into office, lawmakers and thei…r families are immediately
and fully insured, with total access to a national network of doctors
and hospitals.
But here’s the sweetest part of their Rolls Royce ride: up to 75
percent of the premiums are paid for by taxpayers, many of whom are
lucky if they can afford to buy an old Yugo-level of health coverage in
the vaunted private market.”
