Congress to get Obamacare exemption: report


Figures

VERBATIM

LOS ANGELES (MarketWatch) -- The White House has approved a deal that will exempt members of Congress and their staff from some of the provisions of the Affordable Care Act, Politico reported late Thursday. Under the law, popularly referred to as Obamacare, lawmakers and their aides were required to source health insurance "created" by the law or offered through one of its exchanges, and without the subsidies they currently enjoy, the members of Congress would have faced thousands of dollars in additional premium payments each year, the report said. However, the Office of Personnel Management now plans to rule that the government can continue to make a contribution to the health-care premiums of the lawmakers and their staff, it said, citing unnamed congressional sources and a White House official.

  2. I view the staff's of these "rats" to be just as guilty, based on the information available... they know just how much of their health care package is covered, and paid for by "other peoples money". In this case, American taxpayers, and the fact that they know "they" get the Cadillac plan, while "we the people" will be made to pay for (at best) the skateboard plan, mandated by law (barry care).
