WH and Congress must live under exact same Health Plan they put up for rest of country. A legal rider like this should be included IN the final bill. Yes/No?

12. That would be ideal - they should be required to try it for a year.

3. They already live under the same plan that ALL federal employees do.
MUST they? No, they're free to shop for alternate insurance. SHOULD they? No, they should be free to shop for alternate insurance.

4. I think those that can't vote for a public option have a moral obligation to opt out
of their taxpayer paid health insurance. Everyone of them should be asked to go on record as to whether they will do this.

5. That's a rider that SHOULD be included in any bill.

8. They already have the exact same plan that every single Federal employee has.
So they more or less do, yes.

11. If the Fed employees have to live under an underserved program, then they'd probably be up in arms.
Hey, I'm throwing this out there because there are too many bad actors out there on this issue and some are calling themselves Democrats. They deserve every warning we give them now.
