I wouldn't normally post something from the left-wing rag Politico, but reading this Dhimwit whine is worth it (IMHO).

In an interview with POLITICO, Ta emphasized that “employees are not dissatisfied with the Affordable Care Act” and that some younger staffers have seen their premiums fall.

Even if true, which I doubt, bet their deductible went way way up!

These are the flamers that wrote this monstrosity. We must keep vigilant so that we leave them no wiggle room to further “enhance” their coverage.

Simply unacceptable.

Quite a few of us have been saying that. Welcome to the party, pal.

employees are not dissatisfied with the Affordable Care Act

No, of course not - they're out there with pitchforks and torches as a part of a Christmas - sorry, "Holiday" - skit. And so the answer is to make things better for everybody in the country, right? Wrong. What they want to do is

...redesignate some of the aides on Moore’s payroll as nonofficial office staff so that they could avoid the exchange and keep their FEHB plans.

Hey, what happened to "If you like your plan you can keep it. Period."? What happened to fixing it for everybody instead of just Congressional staffers? What happened to sharing the burden?

Kill this obscenity. Now. And drive a stake through its heart.

They can arbitrarily decide what staff is 'official' and what staff is 'unofficial' and somehow this has an impact on what they pay for health insurance?

The bubble that our congresscritters and their sycophants live in is thicker and more impregnable than I thought!

Minh Ta, chief of staff to Rep. Gwen Moore (D-Wis.), wrote to fellow Democratic chiefs of staff in an email message obtained by POLITICO. “Simply unacceptable.”

It used to look good to them, but now they find it... simply unacceptable.

Visit the beltway sometime.
It’s extremely educational.
I recommend it for all taxpayers.

They’ll lose staff? Where will they go? Do they realize the taxpayers are paying 75% of their premium and when they go to another job they will probably not get ANY subsidies?
