Do American citizens believe that congress deserves better health care than the rest of American taxpayers?

Congress gets exactly what every other federal employee gets for health care. And all Americans should have that option.

No, of course they don't.

Especially if they are going to inflict a new system on us, they need to participate in it as well.

That is only fair, especially since the American taxpayer is footing the bill.

Members of Congress are NOT better than the rest of America. They work FOR us. Why is that so hard for some people to comprehend?

If members of Congress weren't members of Congress, they would be earning big bucks in private business and they would still have "Cadillac" insurance plans. You can't lure people into public service with inferior health care if they have the choice to make a lot more money and get much better health care. The reason Congress has a good health care plan is simply the economics of labor.

Welcome to capitalism.

It is very obvious you haven't read the Reid Bill/Proposal. If you had you would see that the requirement for federal employees was in there. And that includes Congress. It's just one of the many reasons that the Republicans along with blue dog Democrats don't like the bill.. My position is that you ought to read the bill before spewing stuff you know nothing about.

This question has been asked and answered many times but I'll jump in again and say no. However, like everything else in American, and probably the world, the rich get treated better than the rest of us.

Liberals beleive that congress deserves better health care than those that work for it simply because it was the demcorats in congress that worked so hard to get rid of that nasty little constitution, the one that says god granted people rights.

Why not? Our congressmen all manage them greater advantageous than us! They HATE us except we are capitalisticly preditorial and comprehensive of egocentric GREED and hate god and are queer and dont very own weapons otherwise THEY HATE US! All congressmen burn in hell. i desire to make certain them burn! i could torchure them if i'd desire to for the way they have performed us all!!

Yes. They are the leaders of our country, and we need them to have good health care. I don't want to be the country where our leaders start dying or getting sick when their decisions impact the entire country. I want them to be focused and healthy for the job we put them there to do.
