Government Health Care For All

I keep thinking of the strange disconnect, that members of Congress get government health care, yet they think government health care isn't any good and that the rest of us shouldn't get it. If they don't think it's any good, why don't they get something else?

They would say they get government health care because they're employees of the government. That's true. But what is the government? Isn't it "of the people, by the people, and for the people"? Since it's "of the people," that means you and I are just as much a part of the government as they.

Therefore, each of us should be entitled to the same benefits.
