Wildwood - We vote in Congress. Congress gets free health care, the best available in the country. We pay for our own health care. Does Congress care about the people who voted them in? No. This is not a Republican or Democrat issue, it's a human issue. The moral of this story is do not get sick. If you do, it's your problem.

Moderator's Note:

U.S. Rep. Frank LoBiondo's Chief of Staff Jason Galanes, in an email to the Herald, stated, "Absolutely false (or “fake news” as is the term nowadays). Congressman LoBiondo has never accepted taxpayer-funded healthcare since being elected to Congress. He and his wife purchase insurance on the private market. Most Congressional staff, including all of Congressman LoBiondo’s staff, are on the public exchanges established by Obamacare.
