That's one of the things I like about US Rep. Ted Strickland, D-OH, who is the current frontrunner for governor of Ohio. He has refused the House healthcare benefits while he's served in Congress because the same or an equivalent level of healthcare benefits are not available to his constituents. I admire his integrity.

Oh, and did I mention he's a psychologist? :)
