Congress and getting their Medical and Dental Plans
Maybe the members of Congress and President should take the Evelyn Wood Speed Reading Course, I can only imagine some of the members of Congress only read 200 words a minute. JFK who took speed reading could read at 5000 wpm.
For once our Congress should only think of the 99% or 320 million who need 100% paid coverage with only $100 a week taken out of their paycheck at it maximum.
Double the funding of Medicare,
let us all have the same MEDICAL AND DENTAL THAT ALL OF CONGRESS ENJOYS. Freeze all increase of premiums by all Insurance companies.
Oh, But Warren Buffet owns American Health Insurance companies?
I think we need to ban all contributions by Lobbyists to bring back democracy without perceived bias from those who donate the most.
Look at Paul Ryans contributors for example.
