The House of Representatives today unanimously passed U.S. Representative Martha McSally’s legislation to prevent Members of Congress and their staff from being exempt from the State waiver provisions of the American Health Care Act (AHCA) as amended

She finally did something other than save the A-10! Go Martha!
My prediction: it won’t appear in the Senate’s version.
Don’t they have their own healthcare?
Wow. Good job.
Meh, recon-silly-ation will kill it...................if it even gets that far....................
Going to be a lot of ticked-off staffers. They only avoided the strictures of 0bamacare by a LLC fiction anyway. Now, sauce for the goose.
Yes...The Federales have the golden insurance plan.
I think the honchos at the VA are also under the special congressional plan.
The insiders get the special deal.
THROW ALL THESE BUMS OUT!!!!
The only way it can be fair is for the legislators to use the same type of health care.
The pompous, perfumed panjandrums of the U.S. Congress - House and Senate - always find ways to exempt themselves for the consequences of the legislation they inflict on the American public.
Another candidate for an amendment to the U.S. Constitution: “All laws, rules, and regulations passed by the Congress or enacted by the Executive Branch shall apply equally to all parts of the Federal government. No waivers or exemptions to such laws, rules, and regulations for persons employed by or serving the Federal government shall be permitted.”
Or words to that effect...
I surmise that those in the Senate will strike that portion from the bill because of their self imposed ROYALTY status.
THROW ALL THESE BUMS OUT!!!!

What’s the point? They’ll just be replaced by identical bums.
No way they do not exempt themselves from this. They all voted like this knowing the senate will take it out.
Couldn’t sneak in Term Limits
Congressional candidates don’t run to make a better America anymore but rather to feather their nests. Character and integrity? Please.
No kidding, the solution to most of DC’s evil!
Or they will all be classified as citizens of the District of Columbia. Guaranteed they wont have to live by this new improved version of Obamacare.
So are they going to strike the appropriation to fund the ACA for the congress and staffers so they wont suffer a loss to their paychecks?
