You've been wondering, I'm sure, exactly how unfair our healthcare system has become.  Very, very unfair is the answer.

This reality takes on a new urgency as John McCain goes around the country promoting a bogus "healthcare plan" for the American people.  A "plan" that would exclude him with his pre-existing conditions, if he were not a U.S. Senator, and a recipient of heavily taxpayer subsidized government healthcare.

And since the media refuses to ask the maverick about his own healthcare benefits, which he wants to deny to you and me, I decided to do some research--to get a handle on exactly what people like John and Cindy McCain receive.

Locating information about their Cadillac Healthcare isn't easy.  It's buried deep in vaults inside the office of OPM which essentially acts as the HR department for the federal government.

But I've been able to piece together the disgusting reality.

After OPM, you go is the web site of the Federal Employee Health Benefits Plan (FEHBP).

Shame on them.

Shame on every last one of them, except the few who have renounced their taxpayer-subsidized health benefits.

I'm making the assumption that because it's so affordable cheap, my Congressperson treats himself to Cadillac healthcare. I'm making a further assumption that he'll take a plan similar to the one I have, that's how I've come up with the $188.42 monthly premium.

So while the American people file for bankruptcy and drop their insurance coverage, our elected officials happily accept Cadillac taxpayer-subsidized health benefits.

I urge you to take a look at the state-by-state table of health insurance premiums for federal employees.

Elected officials--Congresspeople and Senators-- are federal employees so they are entitled to select from this appetizing menu. These are the same thugs people who deny American children healthcare.
