The rumors began trickling in about a week before the scheduled vote
on April 23:
Republican leadership was quietly pushing senators to pull
support for subpoenaing Congress’s fraudulent application to the
District of Columbia’s health exchange — the document that facilitated
Congress’s “exemption” from Obamacare by allowing lawmakers and staffers
to keep their employer subsidies.
The application said Congress employed just 45 people. Names were faked;
one employee was listed as “First Last,” another simply as “Congress.”
To Small Business Committee chairman David Vitter, who has fought for
years against the Obamacare exemption, it was clear that someone in
Congress had falsified the document in order to make lawmakers and their
staff eligible for taxpayer subsidies provided under the exchange for
small-business employees.
