It bothers me that not just Congress gets this special treatment on health insurance, but that their staffers do, as well. Who elected them?

I want to see all the excuses for why a person backtracked on their vote once this happens. It is going to be hilarious

I have been posting a variation of this for YEARS!!!

I disagree, we can SAVE Obamacare, we just need to Fully Implement it and give the Uniparty exactly what they are asking for.

I believe President Trump should Call their Bluff and Force the Issue.

When and ONLY WHEN Government Lives under the Same Laws as us will anything substantial happen

OBAMACARE Can be Saved!!

There are about 22 MILLION Public Employee’s Nationwide that are Ineligible for Subsidies, this infusion of New Paying Customers will SAVE OBAMACARE. the SEIU and every other Public Employee UNION fully Endorse Obamacare and have held numerous rallies in support thereof.

Let’s Give them what they want!

I believe our Public Employees deserve the Best Health Care America has to offer, and that is the Official Government Health Care Plan, Obamacare. So why don’t you quit pussyfooting around and Proudly Proclaim your desire to see that ALL Federal Employees receive the Finest, Most Affordable Health Care the US has to offer, OBAMACARE.

All the Money currently wasted on these inferior high priced cadillac plans can be diverted to the Wall.

There is ONLY ONE WAY to make it happen:

Executive Orders or Legislation, the chance of CONgress doing it are the same as OJ Confessing, so I am choosing Executive Orders.

1. All waivers to the Affordable Care act are hereby repealed.

2. There shall be NO funds drawn from the treasury to pay for Health Insurance for ANY Federal Employee except Members of the Armed Services.

3. ALL Federal Employees except members of the US Armed Services, SHALL purchase their own personal and Family Health Insurance from the Affordable Care Exchange in the state they legally reside.

4. There shall be NO Medicaid Reimbursement funds allocated to any State that does not have 100% of their Public Employees enrolled in the Affordable Care Act.

And to make sure it is Bipartisan, President Trump should VETO it every Time and FORCE them to Override his Veto to Repeal this Monstrosity.

Sign these 4 orders and it will be FULLY REPEALED in Less than 30 days.

NOT UNTIL, Anyone want to make a BET???

When and ONLY WHEN Government Lives under the Same Laws as us will anything substantial happen

Trump should absolutely do this. On general principles, not just because it will force the issue. Sauce for the goose, etc.

"I think the president would be absolutely within his rights to cancel the Obama rule that conferred this subsidy on Congress," DeSantis said.

How could Trump legally do that?

Congress is a nest of maggots and vipers.

Yep - remove all the exemptions for Congress/staffers/unions, etc...

Would have 80% of the Nation clamoring for repeal and maybe sway a few "representatives" to change their objections.

Since the current law gives the head of the system wide leeway and authority to really mess with it, all Trump would need to do is send the memo and then back it up.

I agree. My US rep told us in a town hall that they get a $7,400 per year subsidy on their premium. He justified that by saying its no different than the average worker gets through their employer in the private sector. So these guys look at public service as a career. Their only real goal is to get reelected and build wealth just as though they worked at IBM. How can they possibly be looking out for us?

It's my understanding that before Obamacare, Congress was on the federal employee health benefit “FEHB” program (same as all other federal employees). After being criticized from not participating in Obamacare, they just moved from FEHB to the Obamacare exchanges (with heavy subsidies). I'm sure they were smart (and sneaky) enough to insert some provision where if their Obamacare subsides are cut, they automatically revert back to FEHB, (which is virtually as generous).

Or Congress will repeal the law requiring that they use the Obamacare exchanges and put them back on the Federal health insurance program.
