1) I agree to a point [by Anonymous Citizen on March 4, 2008]I only agree to a point that elected officials who are in office no more than a few years at best who normally get benefits should have a policy like this. But, the people that are going to be affected the most are people who actually work in the communities spending up to 20-30 years working for you. This affects not only the elected officials but, your police, fire, public works, the ones that not only make your life easier, but, also are the ones you rely on in an emergency. I can speak from the fire side and my work schedule keeps myself away from my family 4 complete months a year for a lot less than most people make for 40 hours a week. This is the career I have chosen I understand and have no regrets but the people in the emergency services field not only take you and your loved ones to the hospital when thier sick, but, also end up eventually even with precautions take these illness home with them and to their families. The only saving grace is that we have "decent" benefits with higher co-pays to help take care of our families.

they have this " I'm entitled to this" mindset since they all eat at the trough of public money. OUR MONEY.

ALL of the public cronies should pay their fair share of medical and dental copays. Just make sure that includes the teachers and politicians and the rest of us will be happy.
