Senators are elected for a six year term. That is why the Democrats still control the Senate today. Only one third of them were up for election last time.

This rate is over 90 for both members of both houses of congress?
A rate of over 90 suggests a high level of agreement or consensus among members of both houses of Congress. It could mean that members from different parties are often voting together or that there are few major disagreements on legislation. Such a high rate of agreement is relatively uncommon in a politically polarized environment like the US Congress.

Congress remains a session until its members do what?
Recess. There are two types of recess. One is used routinely to recess for a period of time, usually over the summer or winter break. Congress then reconvenes once that break is over. Congress can also be recalled or reconvened during times of emergency. A Sine Die Recess occurs every two years when the congress has ended. That congress is recessed permanently and will not reconvene until the new members of congress are sworn in. After a Congress recesses Sine Die, all pending legislation on the calendar is disposed of and the calendar is cleared. Any legislation that has not been considered by that time, must begin the process all over again.
Is congress allowed to favor one state over another?
Individual members of Congress certainly are, but the structure of the legislative branch is such that it's not really possible for it to favor one state over another. Since members of congress are elected by their congressional districts, and individual senators are elected by the citizens of their state, it's natural that these members would favor their own constituencies over others. The states are given representation proportionate to their populations in the Congress, but each state has two representatives in the Senate regardless of population -- this is intended to make sure there's enough representation for citizens of a large state while citizens of small states aren't drowned out.

Can the president rescind all health benefits of members of the Senate?
No. The Presidential has little power over Congress. The most he can do is to veto legislation, but they can override his veto if they can get 2/3 of their members to agree to do so.
