I want ALL of my health care for $530 a year just like Congress gets.

Where we are now, if someone gets really sick without insurance, it is probably cheaper to go the visit the Capitol and faint. Interesting.
I know in the depths of the Capitol building there are all kinds of goodies like a barber shop/hair salon, the gymnasium, etc.

I made a mistake on my previous post. They don't pay $530 a year, they pay $503. a year for all of the primary care and specialist they want while at the capitol. The cost hasn't gone up in 17 years.

People on Social Security pay $96.40 per month for Medicare, that they paid for with payroll deductions all of their working life, and still have co-pays and limits, for less medical care.
