WRITE, CALL, Do OP-EDS in your local Newspapers about this!!
The Congress has EXEMPTED themselves from the LAWS THEY PASS FOR US TO FOLLOW!!!
This is a petition people. One that really needs to be signed!
Someone better versed in this, correct me if necessary — but isn’t this something that Trump could do unilaterally, by executive order? Because it is not creation of law (which is the purview of Congress), but rather modifies the application/execution of existing law (which is the job of the Executive branch).
enroll all the basturds who voted to keep Zero-care...into O-care
right now!
then they can enjoy waiting 3 months to see a doctor when they have fast-growing probable-cancers....
just like folks already on O-care
it will do the senators good to learn what O-care is like
and
it might even give the people of America a better senate
"All laws of the United States and the District of Columbia apply to Congress."
But that won't happen until the states convene an Article V convention to suggest Constitutional amendments. If we get that, I'd prefer something more direct and effective:
"No person, who having served all or part of any term in Congress as of the date this Amendment becomes effective, may serve all or part of any term in a further Congress."
Throw Them All Out.
and the plan of action is??
Unions are exempted too.
I actually Trump mishandled this right from the start. He should have had an ally in the House introduce a bill that requires all federal employees except for the military and all elected federal officials to be in Obama care (including all congressional staffers). Its not to late and it would force the Dems to eat their own dog food.
They are enrolled in Obamacare. In 2014 members of congress and their staffs were taken out of the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program FEHBP)and given the option of enrolling in DC Health Link the Obamacare program for the Washington DC region. They get 72% of the policy fees covered and they pay for the rest.
For some reason I have been told that the President can make this happen by decree.
Really? If so, make it so.
If it is to be a law that has to come from congress anyone who thinks they will do this anymore than they will pass a law to term limit themselves is out of their mind and needs to suck in a huge dose of reality.
Same healthcare, same recital exam at airport security.
Trump is supposed to force them...exec order...they won’t force themselves...that leaves us...we work for them now (temporary)...there is no one left to force them...that leaves trump...
Can President Trump issue an executive order for that?
Better yet, force all congresscritters to get their healthcare from the VA.
Apparently Trump could do this with a simple order to the Department which handles federal employee affairs - Obama exempted Congress by ordering it done as a term of their employment - apparently it wouldn’t take any more than that to undo it, and as someone on TV said today, what fool congressman is going to go on record demanding that they not be treated the same as the rest of the country?.....
Signed petition. It said to check my email inbox to basically verify human signed it confirmation. Haven’t got it yet but will keep checking.
Just saw this on Facebook as well.
It’s definitely getting around! Let’s do it people!!
Enough with this smug, do nothing Congress.
