Thanks, cbelt! That Congresspersons have some sort of Gucci insurance is a really common misconception and I get kind of aggravated with it -- as I guess was all too obvious.
That goes along with the myth that serving one term in congress entitles you to a lifetime pension of $15,000/month for which they contribute nothing. Snope it.
Additionally, should we require congresspersons to life on welfare and use foodstamps?
