Thank you Lawrence O'Donnell for telling the truth about Congress's health care

So sick of the claim that our elected officials get limousine health care.

Reminds me of Reagan's welfare cadillac lady story.

If we are going to ever have an honest debate about health care, we need to insist on telling the truth.

And the truth is that members of Congress have the same health care that all federal workers have:http://www.opm.gov/insure/health/

2. The other lie is about their pension

My congressman just retired after serving for 12 years. And his pension is not as good as mine. Seriously. Blew me away when I learned that.
