6. Medical expenses
Former presidents, as well as their spouses, widows, and minor children, have the right to get treatment at military hospitals. They get this right as any other federal employee. They can keep their health benefits if they served the government for more than five years. For most presidents, that means that if they served two terms, they are eligible for this. Two-term presidents can get health insurance via the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program.
For example, George H.W. Bush qualified for this because of the status he had before becoming president, though he chose not to take advantage of this benefit.
If they don’t want to use this benefit, former presidents and their families can also enroll in private health insurance policies at their own expense.

When Slick Willie (Bill Clinton) left office, Hillary said they were “dead broke”. Bullshit. Slick Willie has his mansion and Hillary has her very own mansion. They have no idea what the definition of “broke” is.
Tax payer perks are the one thing that has to be investigaterd asGov’t corruption.
The 1958 former presidential act should be revised, enough of this and make the becoming a president a little more difficult and not all the benefits as to what i have seen they dont deserve all this. Just 1 year secret service protection, for life for get it and just 1/2 or their pay on retirement, and all of the other allowances forget it like the offices allowances, this is crazy and can save much money
and believe me cut down on all these idiots wanting to be a president.
Oh Yes, wanting to be President is a temporary job and should not be a life time of benefits and
protection as it is costly and the person elected should understand this, they should just be offered more limited benefits and protection as i see most of their risks are when they are in office, reduce the Government spending.

They also get exorbitant speaking fees – both President and First Lady as well as book deals and other financial perks, plus positions on various boards of directors.
I wonder what Biden’s funeral arrangements will be including his children.
Trump is the corrupt man. If you support that lying idiot you should move to Russia where lying is acceptable
