Eliminate Special Benefits Enjoyed by Members of Congress and the Senate

Created by M.B. on December 08, 2012

Legislative members enjoy special benefits unavailable, or even illegal, for ordinary citizens. Privileges such as freely being able to participate in insider trading, and lifetime medical coverage.

Our legislative members need to play by the same rules as the rest of us, and they need to have skin in the game when it comes to healthcare.

Legislative healthcare should fall under Obama Care, like the rest of us This will help resolve the healthcare crisis.

Legislative members have access to non-public information which they can use to buy or sell stocks. Plainly illegal for anyone except the legislative members, this practice can lead to undue influence when considering legislation impacting publicly traded corporations.
