    I thought I knew evil, this is a new breed. Have they forgotten that they work for us. As we know there is only one reason why they are doing this, do I have to say it!? Hatred, and racism has blinded them to what this country wants and needs.

    Whatever healthcare system we end up with, Congress should also have the SAME. Simple.

    If the citizens of the USA have to do without, so do those people who claim to serve them.

    Congress and senate you are Americans as we are. Pass laws that effect your jobs and healthcare as you do to ours. We deserve no less. Your healthcare should Be equal to ours. . Your pensions and social security benefits should be treated as ours if we are fortunate enough to have pensions. Your overwhelming greed is the fuel to your sense of entitlement.

    Congress is paid a much larger paycheck than the average American and should cut back on what THEY receive to help the country and show good faith to the American people.

    Those who serve at our discretion and in our interests should not receive benefits that we are not privileged to enjoy. Why should they have first class healthcare, retirement benefits, insider trading abilities and much more at our expense?! This is obscene.

    This is truly sad to say the least. If people would think outside of themselves and just because it does not impact them directly does not mean it isn't important.

    To cut off the ACA is to condemn people to death. You are costing taxpayers even more money. I think that benefits for Congress should be suspended until the American people have a decent chance to get health insurance. The targeting of the poor and elderly is reprehensible. Remember please, older people are most likely to vote. Thank you.

    All republicans in congress have not represented their constituents for years. Instead they have been employees of Big Pharma, Oil companies and Insurance companies etc. All pay and benifits should be forfeited and returned to the American people. They all have 7 figure jobs waiting for them as promised by lobbyists. All failed to live up to the oaths that they took. Free transport to Moscow will be provided.

    It is deplorable that legislators receive these perks and salaries which are funded on the backs of taxpayers. Trimming the fat needs to begin with them before cutting American citizens access to needed services. It's past time for you to put your money where your mouth is.

    I vote to do away with Congress's entire "Golden Parachute ". You are our servants not the other way around . Nobody in their right mind pays their servants more than they make or give them better benefits than themselves. I totally expect all of you to be voted out of office as soon as your current term is up since you have forgotten who you serve.

    I also demand that my elected officials in the Senate and Congress look elsewhere to make budget cuts, starting with their own paycheck, health insurance and other perks and benefits they receive, instead of targeting the poor, elderly and disabled. If they expect others to go without, it's time they did also!

    And the WORKING poor get nothing. The rich congress work 133 days a year and keep giving themselves more and more? When the poor have nothing left to give who will support your rich asses? I guess that why you attack planned parenthood, so poor cannot afford birth control and we are your herd of cattle! No health care so the sick and old just die.

    When one considers that our retired politicians get their benefits for LIFE (& if they die,a spouse gets it!)-I really am wondering why we have to cut our social services to the bone whilst Congress keeps taking raises? Keep your hands OFF of Social Security! Take some of the $600 BILLION allocated this quarter to Defense Contractors,to DEATH,& use THAT to make up shortfalls!

    They should also have term limits, no pension at all. Just Social Security and Medicare like we have to do! Maybe then they will not cut benefits for social security and medicare.
