[ale] OT- that thread again. One last word.

The thrust of their amendment is, like it says:  "it seems reasonable 
that Members of Congress should have exactly the same medical coverage 
that they impose on the rest of us."  The disingenuous part is that what 
actually should be happening is that the "rest of us" should have health 
insurance more like what Congressmen and other Federal employees already 
get.  Don't get me wrong - FEHPB isn't all heaven and joy, but it's 
immeasurably more humane than what most people face.
