The random political thoughts thread (Part Deux)

[scaeagles]

Makes me ill, really, and it is a sad political reality that once people get something they expect it to be there and should you dare mess with it in any fashion, they vote you out of office. Social Security, medicare, whatever.

If the government employees union negotiates some form of group health care plan with their employer I view that as no different than any employer doing the same with their employees. The employees can opt out should they wish. Frankly, Id have no problem with that. Something tells me it wouldn't be quite the same as the congressional and senatorial plans.
