Why can’t our newly elected wonderboys in the House propose and pass a bill requiring them to live under the dictates of Obamacare, just as we do?

Whoever voted against such a bill in either the House or Senate would have a tough time explaining why the rest of us have to choke on the bloody damned mess.

Make ‘em vote on every issue, every detail!

FEHB, the Federal Employees Health Benefit program is not all that plush. Sure, it's got a piece in it for state department employees stationed abroad that gives them airlift to someplace with a surgeon and a hospital (there being an awful lot of countries where that is simply not a thing you can count on), but you have to be in one of those countries to sign up for it.

Think about this a second, that insurance might well seem extravagent and certainly subsidized, but they still make the employees pay for about 30% of it.

Hmm ~ what a deal eh.

This all comes to an end when you're 66 ~ then they turn you over to Medicare ~ but you still get to pay and pay and pay.

At some point someone should 'splain to that Congresscritter that all the propaganda he's heard on the issue is just that ~ propaganda.

BTW, the Congress already voted to conform to the Obamakkkare stuff ~ but FEHB already did. That's why there's no big change that've you seen announced.

Obamakkkare has nothing new ~ just the same old same old.
