CaféAuLait;2904110 said:ThinkProgress Sharron Angle And Her Husband Receive Government Health Care
Angles campaign acknowledged to Nevada journalist Jon Ralston Monday that both the candidate and her husband receive health care from the federal government. Spokeswoman Ciara Matthews said in a statement: Mr. Ted Angle receives his pension through the (federal) Civil Service Retirement System. While it is not supplemented by the federal government, current civil servants pay into the program to pay the schedule of those already retired much like how the Social Security Program works today. Mr. Angle does not qualify nor does he receive Social Security benefits. His health insurance plan (the Federal Employee Health Program), which also covers Sharron, is a continuation of what he was receiving while he worked for the federal government.
(emphasis added)
Your point? Was he supposed to refuse the benefits he worked for all those years? As the article says the plan IS NOT supplemented by the federal government and HE PAID for the benefits when he worked.
And others are paying for his benefits now.
Federal employees health care benefits should be merged into Medicare.
They should have to live like those they "serve"
Dream on. There will always be one system for the ruling class and one for you under Obamacare.
