I would take it further and say Congress should pay for it's own damn insurance. Why is the taxpayer forced to pay for them? They already get paid a salary. Let them pay their own.

And we should stop using the term "insurance" and "pre-existing conditions"

If you have a pre-existing condition...you are NOT getting "insured" against the possibility of something happening.
It already happened.
Nope, you are getting welfare. Plain and simple.

And there is a place for welfare in our society. I'm not against that.
But to pretend it's "insurance" is just stupid.
If you have cancer...you are not being "insured" against catching cancer. You are getting welfare.
