The OP (RcMoser) is
entirely wrong with his facts. Just check out Snopes and this site
Do Congressmen Pay For Their Healthcare? | House Democrats Congressman pay for their health care the same way all federal employees do. The Govt Contributes 40% and the employee pays 60%. The one benefit Congressman do get is access to Walter Reed medical Center. Also congressmen staff are different than the average Fed Employee when it come s to retirement benefits. Their computation rate is a striaght 2% of high 3 years of pay X the number of years of federal service...whereas the avergae joe retiring under Civil service (...Not FERS since 1984) is 1.5 X 3 years 1.75 X 4-15 years; and 2% for all time after 15 years multiplied by the avg top 3 years of salary. If you retire under CSRS you get NO Social Security.
In retirement, to reach 80% of top 3 years of salary the average Civil servant (under CSRS) would have to have approx 42 years of federal service.
