Maybe those who want the insurance companies to cease and desist could explain how the federal, congressional and postal employees would then have their choice of 25+
private insurer health insurance plans, with family premiums amounting to $1200 per month or more.....and the "government pays" (taxpayer pays) about 70% of that premium for these congressional and federal employees who are not going to vote away their own benefits.
For example, one of the FL Humana family insurance plans premium is $1331 per month, and the government (taxpayer) pays $920 of that employee's monthly premium. These are mighty good benefits that these federal and congressional employees have, but never seem to extend
their type of benefits to the uninsured, working poor taxpayer, or the taxpayer who has skeletal coverage and high deductible of several thousand dollars, and
no dental, vision, prescription, flexible spending, long-term care and other such benefits that the decision-makers in Washington afford themselves.
