I say this as someone whose tax returns were lowered because the IRS decided that I didn't really spend that much on medical expenses - never mind the receipts.

And to do that would mean lowering the coverage for congress not raising the coverage for the people...no one can afford that level of coverage universally....it's not feasible. Everyone hates to hear the word "rationing" but it's how reasonably priced health care is meted out with or without insurance as the payor.
