Tis it nobler to be a GOP Sheep or to stand up for your IDEALS (such as they are). King Rump's bill screws fewer serfs than we Greedy Old Partiers wanted so should be send the Dumb Nitwit-Crats (DNC) or do we stand up to the King and tell him, "Potuisti ad populum!"
Ney, I say, "Ad populum have no clothes (Money) so we represent them not! Let us confer with the BC and MMC (Billionaire and MegaMillionaire Clubs) and create an AHCA bill that will really make us MONEY! and really screw ad populum, heh heh heh heh.
Besides what do members of Congress or the White House care, we have our own healthcare plan:

In all fairness it does say on the 2nd link, "If a federal employee chooses to get a "good" plan, then they will also pay for this. (But their portion of the premiums could reach as little as 25% of the total premiums.) What is interesting is that some of those in congress opt to be covered under the insurance plans of their spouses - for the reason that these may offer an even more comprehensive cover or that it may be more cost-effective."
I believe that in 2009 the "Gold Plated" WH & Congress plans came under scrutiny when the debates over the ACA began and they retreated to the Federal Employees Health Insurance Program, to deflect criticism, still a very good HC plan as plans go. BUT IT WOULD BE INTERESTING TO KNOW how members of congress will come out of this if the AHCA is passed.
