What is the VA, if not socialized medicine?

A self-insured employer health benefits package?

Or what is the medical care that Congress gets...??

It's just that some things are hush hush and no one is really made aware of the perks of being a politician.. And how about secret service after office and all the lovely pensions plans.

If I had known all about these things when I was younger... of course women were not running for political office then.. I might have tried to make and inroad.

I watched IRON JAW ANGELS last night. It's hard to believe that women did not receive the right to vote until 1920.

They were chattel... That's it.
