If healthcare is not a right, neither is food, clothing, shelter, or any of those other lovely things that make us a better, more productive people. It may not be what you define as a "right", but it's necessary if we want to make the US a better place.

@burghfandan thinks lifestyle is the only factor in health. I have a friend who works out 5 days a week, good shape & guess what...has high blood pressure. Dan needs a genetics lesson. Trumpers like this don't help their cause. -
Not a “trumper”. I’ve worked in healthcare for 30+ years. The people who get sick through no fault of their own pay substantially more in this country because of those who live a poor lifestyle and end up in ICU beds at 100K per day. Play a risky lifestyle you should pay more

As the myth busting website Snopes points out, "contrary to popular belief, Congressional members do not receive free health care." Instead, they choose a gold-level Obamacare policy and receive federal subsidies that cover 72 percent of the cost of the premiums.

They also have access to "free or low-cost care" through the Office of the Attending Physician as well as "free medical outpatient care at military facilities" in the D.C. area.
