ask them one question

Would you drop your health care and replace it with this plan?

Currently Members of Congress are required to get insurance on the ACA exchanges. In reality, though, they are likely to go back under the system that covers all federal employees, where they were before.

I didn't realize that.

As for the new "plan":

members of congress earn $174,000, so the impact to them is relatively small.

More than half of the members of congress are millionaires. No billionaires. Sad. Losers. So they'll come out ahead with the change.

We're fucked.
