What is the name of the health insurance co. that members of congress have

What is the name of the health insurance co. that members of congress have?
I want to know soo that I can call them to enroll myself & my whole family. I will tell them that the president of the United States promised that I could have the same insurance as members of congress at a reasonable rate, so I would like to sign up now. In fact we should all start callin for our health insurance!

Its' called, your fucked and you elected us and we have, therefore a life time pension, make a guaranteed salary which we may increase at any time with or without your permission because we really don't cater to your puny interests but are much more involved in the corporate, reelection procedure, so fuck you- we can certainly do far better in the private sector lobbying your other supposedly, elected officials.

Members of Congress and the President get their health insurance through the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program (FEHB). The benefits are a significant piece of their compensation package, and offer a richer menu of coverage than what is typically covered by Medicare. Members of Congress also have given themselves a generous tax break, which lowers their taxable income on the portion of the premium that they pay. the U.S. Office of Personnel Management, the FEHB program offers working Members of Congress, retirees, and their survivors the widest selection of health plans in the country. In addition to health insurance benefits, Members of Congress may also receive dental, vision, as well as long-term care benefits. Generally the federal government (funded by the taxpayer) pays up to 75% of the health insurance premiums, and Members of Congress cover the other 25% out of their (taxpayer-funded) salaries.

They have a choice of providers who are under the federal employees health care system. FUN FACT 2: Viagra is perscribed for a Medicial condition. IE: erectile difunction. Birth Control is not perscribed for a medicial problem. A better comparison would be Angeliq, which is perscribed for Vaginal Dryness.
