The best plan money can buy

All those new congressmen are making a delightful discovery: Their new office entitles them to what Mike Causey of The Washington Times calls "the best health plan in the nation." It covers all federal employees and, writes Causey, "can't drop you or turn you down because of your age, retirement status, health, bad habits, or pre-existing medical conditions. And the government pays a little more than 70 cents of each premium dollar."

You might consider writing your congressman and asking him to please explain just why his plan can't cover you.
