A quick vent

So the health care bill passed the other day and i am more than upset about it. If the politicians think the heath care reform is such a good idea why did they refuse to pass an amendment to the bill that would require the politicians to have the same health coverage as the rest of us? Our country is already bankrupt why do they feel the need to spend billions of dollars that they do not have and then have the nerve to tell us that this will decrease the deficit. They must think we are idiots.
