John Stossel's blog at ABC News notes a Los Angeles Times article about a congressman from Wisconsin, Steve Kagen, a physician who is refusing his federal health benefits until all Americans get the same coverage he qualifies for. The L.A. Times reports, "Kagen recently had knee surgery, writing checks for more than $4,500 after bargaining for a reduced-rate MRI and a 50% discount on the operation. (He is still dickering over the hospital bill.)"
