Folks,

Listening to all the arguments on both sides related to the *Health Coverage (it is NOT CARE - it is Coverage - if it was Health 'CARE' then they would be practising medicine without a license) I had a thought pop up that I am surprised I didn't think of it sooner.

We hear over and over how repealing Obummercare will cause this or that horrible thing to happen to people - not to mention the PRICES for this overloaded *coverage* with those huge deductibles and pricing of the coverage.

My thought and idea is this:

First: we need to install TERM LIMITS for ALL politicians and political office holders.

Second: Abolish and eliminate any and all EXEMPTIONS for all politicians. Right now they have the crown jewel for Health insurance - Coverage we the TAXPAYERS foot the bill on.

Third: Pass a law that all politicians are SUBJECT TO the SAME kind of *coverage* that the everyday American citizen has access to purchase for the same pricing.

If those politicians had to live under the SAME rules they pass on us we would see a far different bunch of rules, regulations, laws, being passed at all levels of government.

The same thing should apply to those *pensions* and Secret Service protection.

No pensions for serving a few years in office.
In fact if we pass TERM LIMITS none would serve more than a few years.

The $$$ amount for those pensions should be reduced for those now in office to last for a LIMITED TIME after leaving office.

Bottom line ------ No politician should be EXEMPT from any benefits or restrictions they place on the average America citizen.
