LOS ANGELES (MarketWatch) -- The White House has approved a deal that will exempt members of Congress and their staff from some of the provisions of the Affordable Care Act, Politico reported late Thursday. Under the law, popularly referred to as Obamacare, lawmakers and their aides were required to source health insurance "created" by the law or offered through one of its exchanges, and without the subsidies they currently enjoy, the members of Congress would have faced thousands of dollars in additional premium payments each year, the report said.

or are we just exempting the " Power Elites " in order to create a separate caste in order to create 'class envy' ?
Please do it. It'll be fun.
So, I’ve been thinking about the 1799 French Revolution and wondering just how the revolutionists actually picked which person or group to guillotine. I’m thinking that if it ever got around to that here, one of the criteria might end up being ‘those that got Obamacare exemptions’......
Just musing here..
WHAT?????????????
SINCE WHEN??? I THOUGHT IT WAS MANDATORY AND INCLUDED IN THE LAW ITSELF
Obamanationcare is for the little people, not for the ruling class.
Sue under Equal Protection.
PAYOFF
People voted for this........even some freepers....
this is the dark ages...
Any moron who voted for this nightmare should be thrown out of office. Not only did they have no idea what was in this nightmare they were just sock puppets who did as they were told by their leadership.
The nomenklatura always have their privileges. What’s the surprise?
You wanna motivate our side to the polls?
Tell them this.
Over and over and over.
I want my exemption, too!
Where’s Robespierre when he is needed?
I dunno....I’m kinda partial to a Madame DeFarge kind of ‘accuser’....except that she be Tea Party. “Off with their heads....eeeeeeyaaaaaahhhhh!”

Scarborough Lashes ‘Embarrassing’ Congressmen Who Refuse To Face ObamaCare Fees They Voted For

Summary under the video
Excerpt:
“It’s awful, so embarrassing,” he said with a chuckle. “They passed this law!” He then put on a faux-deep voice and pretended to narrate what he predicts to be the theme of many upcoming Democratic primary ads: “Congressman Scarborough voted for ObamaCare to raise your health premiums and yet he had the president exempt him from ObamaCare. Let’s exempt Congressman Scarborough from Congress.”
Just watch. Either Congress will exempt themselves and their pets from Obamacare, or fuehrer Obama will exempt them by Executive Diktat. The Politburo always gets better medical care than the peasants. Doesn’t everyone know that by now?
Well, the gopE is happy now since they’re not included in “the law of the land”, as boner said.
What would happen if everyone simply said “Screw you.” Does everyone go to jail?
“Congress to get Obamacare exemption”
Why, of course they are. Either Congress will exempt themselves and their pets from Obamacare, or our fuehrer Obama will exempt them by Executive Diktat. The Politburo always gets better medical care than the peasants. Don’t ya’ll know that by now?
And where is the GOP/RNC standing in solidarity w/ their constituents and saying “No, thank you, we will abide by the Law, same as any Citizen of the U.S.A.”? Nor pointing out the hypocrisy of the Left?
Yeah, didn’t think so...
This is all you need to know about ObamaCare.
If it’s so wonderful, how come everybody is clamoring to get out of it and waivers are flying around left and right.
This government stinks to high heaven.
If it isn’t the Republicans trying to screw us over by importing the third world here, it’s the Democrats signing us up for this POS healthcare program.
This is blatant war on the American taxpayer by the federal government. It can’t be made any plainer than that.
