"More equal" piggies keep/make special perks

"LIKE TAXES, NATIONAL HEALTH CARE IS FOR THE LITTLE PEOPLE: Obamacare Is For the Peons… Congress to Keep Their Gold-Plated Health Care Plans.:

Jim Hoft

"Obamacare is for the peons and knaves. Our moral superiors have more important things to worry about.

"Congress will keep their gold-plated insurance plans as they force the rest of the country into a rationed health care government plan.Townhall reported, via Free Republic:
Personal doctors on call 24/7. Coverage that knows no caps. No exemptions for pre-existing conditions.

"Those are the sorts of benefits members of Congress currently enjoy on the taxpayer’s dime, and the kinds of benefits Americans on a government-run public health care plan will never see if Obamacare passes.

“One thing is certain: Congress will exempt itself from whatever lousy health care system it forces on we little people,” said Michael Cannon, director of health policy studies at the Cato Institute. “Congress will get better insurance than you do because politicians always get a better deal under government-run health care.”

Related, from Britain: 3,000 NHS staff get private care. “THE National Health Service has spent £1.5m paying for hundreds of its staff to have private health treatment so they can leapfrog their own waiting lists. More than 3,000 staff, including doctors and nurses, have gone private at the taxpayers’ expense in the past three years because the queues at the clinics and hospitals where they work are too long.”

"When they said everyone would be treated equally, they didn’t mean equally-equally."
