Congress has the best health-care coverage plans in America. Most policies for typical Americans provide weak benefits, even weaker recently. Congress men and women get the best benefits. Believe it or not.
Once elected for a term, a single term, they get their pay for the REST of their lives. If they are not re-elected, they still walk away with lifetime benefits. The benefits of staying elected is the power and donations from lobbyists.
Any other jobs stipulate that if you work for 2 years and are let go that you'll still get your annual salary?
