44. It's employer-provided health insurance and co-incidental that
their"employer" is the federal government. Under FEHBP, which is my primary health care insurance - no care is provided by government doctors like the military or VA systems.

Congress is under the same system I am whey the employer pays up to about 70% of the premium and we pay the remainder, plus deductible & co-pays. Presidents are under the no-cost military system - except that I doubt their families are space-available for dental like a Private's are.

I don't like it when the GOP grandstands and don't like it when Dems do it either.
