Give pols same insurance, premiums as rest of us

I have been reading all the articles on our health care coverage issues. It seems President Trump just wants to push any health insurance coverage through without giving any thought to how it will affect all the people who need this insurance.

May I offer a simple solution that will effectively get our government to pass an insurance bill that will be awesome for all who sign up for it? Simple Solution: Create a health care plan that the government officials must sign up for and the government officials pay their own premiums just like all the Obamacare customers do now. No more taxpayer funded insurance coverage for our political leaders, teachers, firefighters, police, etc.; you get the idea.

It is the only fair solution for all. I have been paying my own insurance premiums for years. It's very expensive and I don't get the best coverage for my money, but there is nothing I can do about it. So, enough trying to deny certain coverage, enough saying older citizens should pay more toward their premium, enough trying to make pre-existing coverage more expensive for those who have cancer, diabetes, crohns disease, etc.

Plain and simple - enough!

Everyone gets Trumpcare and everyone pays their share.
