An Open Letter To All US Senators and Congressmen.....

I am submitting this letter in the hopes that after you read the information I am putting out there, those of in opposition will make a decision to support Health Care Reform with a robust & strong public option. Based on what I read in this article, what every member of Congress has is a public option, a government plan.

All I'm asking is for the same quality health care you all have and if you still can't commit to a public option then I will ask that you give up your Health Insurance. If you feel it's not in my best interest to have a public option then it should not be in your best interest. I see no reason that should you continue to have a health care plan that you so strongly disapprove of.

Below is information I found concerning Federal Employees Health Insurance.

Federal Employees Health Benefits ProgramAs soon as members of Congress are sworn in, they may participate in the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program (FEHBP). The program offers an assortment of health plans from which to choose, including fee-for-service, point-of-service, and health maintenance organizations (HMOs). In addition, Congress members can also insure their spouses and their dependents.Not only does Congress get to choose from a wide range of plans, but there's no waiting period. Unlike many Americans who must struggle against precondition clauses or are even denied coverage because of those preconditions, Senators and Representatives are covered no matter what - effective immediately.

And here's the best part. The government pays up to 75 percent of the premium. That government, of course, is funded by taxpayers, the same taxpayers who often cannot afford health care themselves.

You can go to this link to read the entire artice.

Respectfully yours,Marilyn J Rosberg
