    You can browse DC area plans at dchealthlink.com.

    If you are a member of Congress, the government contributes 72% of the cost of the premium plans (or up to 75% if you choose a cheaper plan). You pay the rest.

        It’s good, but plenty of employers offer similar amazing deals. On average, employers pay for 73% of health insurance premiums, contributing roughly $1500/month towards a premium of $2000/month.

        Lots of employees won’t choose the most expensive plan even if they only have to pay a quarter of the premium, because the average plan ($500/month from the employee) is still a lot of money.

        The misinformation was about congressional members receiving healthcare for life, not if their healthcare was better/cheaper than the average american.
