Those in Congress are not covered by a big government system... they are covered by a private insurer. It's only subsidized by the Government like my plan because they are essentially government employees.
All this "death panel" stuff is misinformation from the right wing.
I'm a government employee... we're really concerned with this because essentially it could INCREASE my taxes and my premiums to lower your premiums so that the system will attain a balance.
