Since our government officials represent us, doesn't it make sense that they have the same health insurance we do, and like now for most people, that would be none? And for others who do, they'd be paying the high premiums like we do, high deductibles, etc. Please, no snarky comments from the snarky ones. Just serious answers, not ugly. Thanks.

They sort of do. The new health insurance exchange system is modeled after what congress uses. They don't all have the same health insurance. Congress provides them a voucher to pick which health insurance package they want, and the cost is covered by tax payer dollars. If you have health insurance right now, probably nothing will change, except the cost might go up, or if your employer decides to reduce your coverage, you may be eligible to opt out and use the exchange system with a voucher from your employer covering the amount he was willing to pay from your original plan.
