Politicians must use same healthcare that they vote in

All politicians must use the same healthcare that they impose on their constituents. They will not get government plans, as other government employees.

If a state demands to reduce healthcare, then all politicians in that state should be expected to have the same reduced insurance. They get what we get!

Why is this important?

My petition is about having the politicians understand what it is like to be a United States of America citizen. It's easy to agree on something so detrimental as Trumpcare, if it doesn't affect you or your family.

It is obvious that certain Individuals of Congress have no idea what it feels like to worry about not having adequate healthcare!

One Republican Congressman said "No one dies from not having healthcare!" Another Republican Congressman implied that only people who don't take care of themselves get sick, so why should the people who take care of themselves have to pay more money! Seriously, pre-existing conditions happen to most people who are active! They even happen to lawmakers!

I'm a therapist, concerned for my clients, who are terrified that they or their love one might not get the medical care that they need or deserve. My friends and family, as well as myself, also have pre-existing conditions.

It's time to demand that these lawmakers get out of their ivory tower and join the real world!
