It is an employer contribution. When they were NOT in the exchange, their employer contributed a percentage of the cost of health care, just as MY employer contributes a percentage of the cost of health care.
And if your employer puts you in an exchange, the employer can still sponsor you with a contribution.
This is different from the “subsidies” of the exchange, which are available to people who vote democrat. I mean who are below a certain income level.
Yes, our representatives get paid a fairly decent wage, but it is not like these guys are all millionaires.
So in the big scheme of things, this is way down my list of concerns for our country, and is more of a liberal distraction trying to keep us from the important issues that face us.
But - they voted it for themselves and their staffs, did you vote as to the amount your employer contributes to your plan? And - do you subsidize that amount in any way? Where do you think Rubio (and the others and their staffs) is getting the 10K from?
