Despite the services that members of Congress receive at the taxpayer's expense, they've done little on behalf of those who cannot afford or cannot get health care. The Oakland Tribune article "Congress 'wild health care ride" (January 7, 2008) reports that Congress' attention is instead focused on the financial well being of pharmaceutical and insurance companies.
To illustrate this point, the article states that, according to the Medicare Reform Act of 2004, Medicare is prohibited from negotiating with pharmaceutical companies for lower prices. However, not only is this negotiating power available to governments in other industrialized countries, it's also similar to the power granted to the FEHBP, which itself is permitted to negotiate premiums and prices.

It's true that the U.S. Congress is talking up health care reform, but members of the House and Senate - both Republicans and Democrats alike - take millions of dollars in contributions from the health sector, which includes health providers, insurers, and pharmaceutical companies
In the meantime, millions of Americans are receiving inadequate health care, and millions more could lose their health insurance at any time. Those who've managed to maintain their insurance have seen their rates go up and their deductibles rise. Many end up medically bankrupt. Yet throughout all this upheaval, one thing has remained steady - the health care coverage afforded members of Congress. If they've proven nothing else, they've shown taxpayers that they know how to take care of themselves.
