Any "reform" should include abolishing the Congress' special coverage plan....

Any reform should include TERM LIMITS and eliminate Special Interest Groups.

Politicians are VIP's. They'll get VIP treatment under ANY plan... such is life. They do not need to worry.

Imo, having Congressmen agree to take the "same" coverage may simply give them an effective sales line in order to push through whatever they want.

(I'm almost surprised that Congressional dems are NOT pushing for this... they must really dislike Obamacare... -g)

Just expand the Congresses special plan to cover the 5 million who cannot get insurance. The problem would be solved. No need remaining for government takeover.
