i'd like to add that any health plan be EQUAL TO AND COMMENSURATE with the health plan our congressional representatives enjoy.  what is good for the congress, the "gander", should be as good for the general public, the "goose", - those FULLY VETTED CITIZENS - who are the payers of their representative's salaries.  there is NO REASONABLE EXCUSE to have a tiered congressional health system that is different and separate from the rest of the country's citizens.  they work for us!  they are not better than we who elected them!
