So does Deacon. . . . . .
Unfortunately for Sen Reid there is a lawsuit working its way to the Fed Courts which challenges the change without a Congressional vote. If Congress and the Exec can change a law without a vote, then can Congress be exempt from rape and murder??!!!
Whatever happened to, “Ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country”?
I don’t understand Paul’s amendment. The law requires that all large employers provide health insurance for their employees. The federal government is a large employer. How is it special treatment for the government to do for its employees what outfits like IBM do for theirs?
I do not want Rand Paul or any lawmaker advocating Obamacare for anyone including federal government employees.
His proposal or amendment to deny Congress or any federal employee any special exemptions or subsidies in general is a valid action but it should not address specifically Obamacare.
I want Paul to defund Obamacare.
How about joining Cruz and Defund ObamaCare....Sen Paul?
Extending ObamaCare is just supporting ObamaCare
That’s what I’ve been saying for 3 years...”YOU GUYS FIRST”....if it works out fine, then MAYBE we’ll try it....but not only should they NEVER GET EXEMPTIONS, they should have been on it FIRST!
Congress and staffers exempted the subsidy cap from their salaries. So Justice Roberts can earn $300K and still get his insurance 75% paid for under the exemption they carved out for the more equal pigs on the farm.
Socialists/psychopaths get indignant when YOU tell THEM what to do.
FUS
Enrolling in ObamaCare is not always something to fear... The VA automatically enrolled me although I have primary coverage with Coventry, secondary Tricare, Medicare on 1 November and the Department of Veterans Affairs also pays 100% if I go there. For myself, it just means the different Insurance plans share the “Wealth”.
“Arguing federal workers should not get special treatment, Rand Paul says he...”
...while he exempts himself from Obamacare...
Good for Rand Paul.
No member of any branch of federal government nor any federal agency employee should be exempt from the laws of the United States. That needs too include POTUS, Congress, and Judges as well as all aides etc. If they write laws of tyranny then let the tyrants be bound by it also.
Even better, simply defund and disband the federal health insurance plan in its entirety. Same for their retirement plans.
Sauce for the Goose Amendment! I love it!
This is the right and righteous fight IMO. All men created equal and all...
Congress thinks they’re special. “The people elected us so they MUST have wanted us to be treated special.” And Roberts will say “And those the people elected chose me so I’m special, too.”
