Congress Health CareFact Check
Towards the end of the last article posted, you'll notice the section that starts off "In addition, members of Congress also qualify for some medical benefits that ordinary federal workers do not."
So it appears Congress gets the same health care coverage as military personel and all other Federal Gov worker plus some additional services that they pay for out of there own pockets. I 'm not really sure if I have a problem with that after all they pay for the additional services.. What I don't think is right is that they get to use military hospitals for out patient care while other federal employees can't.In my view thats just unfair
In addition, members of Congress also qualify for some medical benefits that ordinary federal workers do not. They (but not their families) are eligible to receive limited medical services from the Office of the Attending Physician of the U.S. Capitol, after payment of an annual fee ($491in 2007). But services don’t include surgery, dental care or eyeglasses, and any prescriptions must be filled at the member’s expense.
House and Senate members (but not their families) also are eligible to receive care at military hospitals. For outpatient care, there is no charge at the Washington, D.C., area hospitals (Walter Reed Army Medical Center and National Naval Medical Center). Inpatient care is billed at rates set by the Department of Defense.
To Ban 18 to 20 year olds is wrong from a Constitutional perspective America considers 18 year olds adults. Unfortunately I don't think a specific age for manhood was mentioned in the Constitution. IMOP if you are 18 you are a young adult and have a right to a firearm. I'm not sure why people have a problem with sane law abiding non felons from owning guns.
