Congress should be covered by Social Security and Medicare so they will support this program. Congress has their own private coverage paid for by American taxpayers. We can save millions of tax dollars if congress gave up their sense of "entitlements'. They act like they are the Nobility and we are the Peasants that work for them!
Why is this important?
Congress has their own retirement pension program instead of Social Security like the American public.Tax payers pay for this. They also have their own Health Insurance program, paid for by tax payers. Congress would work harder to protect Social Security and Medicare if they were part of it like the rest of us.
