If OBAMACARE is So Great, Why Did Congress EXEMPT THEMSELVES?

President Barack Obama keeps telling us how wonderful that his health care plan will be.

"No matter how we reform health care, we will keep this promise to the American people," Obama said Monday, addressing the American Medical Association. "If you like your doctor, you will be able to keep your doctor, period. If you like your health care plan, you'll be able to keep your health care plan, period. No one will take it away, no matter what." He didn't let up."If you like what you're getting, keep it," Obama said. "Nobody is forcing you to shift." Source

Sounds wonderful right? So if the Democratically controlled congress thinks that their health care plan is so wonderful, why have they written a clause in the bill that says Congress is exempted from the plan?:

They always exempt themselves from the laws they pass for the the common people.

Exactly!

If they don't include themselves in the plan then they had damn better not vote for it. Or else they are going to catch H E L L from me. I will do my best to see they are voted OUT OF OFFICE. Enough of this crap of we know what is best for YOU, but we are taking care of us first!

The Elite Congress think they rule 5-billion people, when in fact, only 304-million
make up our country. The water spout fantasy they rule by is ignored by
the MSM who gives them a pass at every turn and allows them to spend.
The MSM doesn't even realize they're in jeopardy also.

America has become Fantasy Island.
