That's right...because they were among the fortunate ones. Now, we'll have the same coverage for everyone, like those in Congress and their staffers who will receive tax subsidies to offset their costs just like you do.

The "tax subsidies" for Congressional staff is a bit of a red herring, I think. Like many people, my employer covers a (significant) portion of my health insurance premiums - the only reason Congressional staffers would receive a "tax subsidy" to offset the cost of their premiums is because their employer happens to be the FedGov. They get a "tax subsidy" now (before ObamaCare), because their employer (FedGov) pays a portion of their premiums.

Yes, but your employer places the cost of your healtcare into the goods or services they provide. Consumers have a choice whether to purchase it, or not. We don’t have a choice in providing tax revenue to the government.....or seemingly any input as to how they spend it.
