FTA:

"the two factions are at odds over access to the proceeds of Mr. Blum’s life insurance, which Senator Feinstein says she needs to pay for her growing medical expenses."

Can we just take a moment to say how BROKEN the system is that a multi millionaire 30 year Senator can't pay for their heavily subsidized healthcare without access to a deceased spouses life insurance?

Senators have the best health care in the country, she has a net worth of $87 million and she can't pay for her health care?
