Only NOW, upon threat of losing what has been, at least a start on achieving healthcare on a par with the rest of the civilized world, are defenders coming forward with THEIR stories. I grew up with two uncles who were insurance agents.

He actually chuckled over some of the scrapes he got their wayward teenagers out of. Not only do congresspersons have great insurance themselves, their entire families are protected in ways the average citizen would marvel at.
