Oh, the irony of it all. That liberals run like hell when they’re not exepted from the consequences of their own decisions.

Obama and the elitist rats in Congress will figure out a way to make things less painful on their mascots.

I was talking to a doctor that “went private” about whether he’d be “allowed” to continue when 0bamadoesn’tcare kicks in full.

He said that there were numerous docs that he knew that were doing the same thing, AND were supportive of passing Obamadoesn’tcare.

Yeah, agree. The Both sides of the House and Senate have finally got an issue that they can agree on; scewing the American people. Fret not, they will find a way to exempt themselves and their little helpers from Obama Care.

Like their healthcare in the private sector is going to be any better? Something does not pass the smell test here.

“Fret not, they will find a way to exempt themselves and their little helpers from Obama Care.”

You can bet the farm on that. They will squirrel away 14 innocuous lines of code into a mammoth 3200 page bill on a last minute amendment that nobody will read until after it’s passed.

Hey, a 90 year old Freeper is a very dangerous man!

Devoted to the cause of liberty, and he knows he doesn’t have that long to live anyway.

Rep. John Larson, a Connecticut Democrat who helped craft Obamacare for suckers all across America, complained to Politico that “this is simply not fair to these employees.”

It might be noted - not the entire work force in Federal service will be thus affected.

Congressional employees are a special class. Exempt from most rules that apply to civil service or most appointive offices, they form a permanent professional cadre, irrespective of the political affiliation of the legislator for whom they perform office and business duties. Almost uniformly, they are of liberal persuasion, and have more than a little influence what legislation actually gets acted upon. They filter the information that reaches the legislator, and they largely regulate the arrangements for meetings and constituent concerns. Occasionally they will overstep their boundaries, and end up being fired by the individual Congressman, but not to worry, they are soon working in another Congressional office, often for somebody who was diametrically opposed to their former boss.

They are even more tenacious in keeping office than some of the Congressmen they work for. This is not a virtue.

How did your doc answer your first question? Did he explain why other doctors supported zerocare?

So how does it help them if they quit their job- Everyone has to have insurance It is the law so they will just have to pay the HIGH prices we have to. I do not get their whining.

He seemed to think that he answered the first question with the reply about the zero[doesn’t]care supporters going private. If the supporters of the policy didn’t think it would be allowed, they wouldn’t have done it. That was the reasoning.

No, as far as why the other docs supported 0care - I would assume it was for the same reason that liberal Jews support democRats even though the ‘rats would have them in train cars if they got their way

- because they are LIBERALS first and Jews/doctors by a distant second.

Actually, that’s not their understanding of Obama[doesn’t]care.

Ask almost any lib about it, and they’ll tell you that it means everyone gets free healthcare on demand.

probably private sector lobbying firms and law firms that are promising them good insurance policies and not to force them onto the exchanges.
