We only get the half that is allowed to charge more for services next year than we paid in 2010.
Of the billions and trillions being squandered they can't find enough to help those with fixed incomes??
I have a term other than nothingsburger but am restrained from being crude in open/public forums (self restrained that is  ). btk |
It's all just a game to them in Washington, campaigning for votes in the next election cycle as always.
They have their pensions for life, and they and federal workers have their choice of at least
22 private health insurance plans (and in some states, even more). And
we pay most of their premiums - see link below for plans and rates.
Most of all, notice that the link begins with "opm" . . . Other People's Money.
Until a "healthcare reform" package puts them under the same "equal distribution" of waiting lists and inevitable rationing as we constituents have, nothing will change.
