What Congress just did to you is appalling. I would not do this to you in a million years and I doubt you would do this either. It is indecent….just WRONG. Read the previous Politico story posted where it reports that Congress, as it races out the door for 5 week vacation, exempted itself (and staff) from Obamacare. So let me get this straight….they push OBAMACARE on EVERY OTHER AMERICAN except themselves. Really? Unbelievable, isn’t it?
And it gets more disgusting….the article says there was a bit of a rush to get their exemption passed before their 5 week vacation because the Health Care Exchanges open October 1. They needed to make sure they were not disrupted. Really? They had to take care of themselves with the exchanges date of October 1….but the CONTINUING RESOLUTION that funds the government (AND IMPACTS YOU) expires September 30 but they are ignoring that until after their 5 week vacation.
So…let me get this straight….what matters to YOU and is their job to handle can wait until their 5 week vacation is over. What matters to them, gets done NOW, before their 5 week vacation. They come first even though they work for you and you even pay for their 5 week vacation....

The whole 2000 page bill is full of “as the Secretary may direct....” language.
KILL OBAMACARE, OR ELSE.
No more negotiations. No more foot dragging. No more exceptions. No more damn excuses.
I am an AMERICAN. I do not have a Ruler, a King or a slave master. I do not need a mommy, (may my mother RIP). I was born a FREE AMERICAN over 64 years ago, and with as God as my witness, I will die a free man. These asshats can kiss my a$$.
KILL OBAMACARE, OR ELSE.
The patriots of this country have been patient. We have waited, prayed, helped and done what we can to get these selfish bastards and corrupt leaders to turn this crap around and THEY HAVE FAILED. They have failed their oath, they have FAILED AMERICA.
KILL OBAMACARE, OR ELSE........ it is long past time for the OR ELSE.
@#$%#!..... I am going to try decaff for the rest of the day.
No surprise, 0care is only for the little people. The bassturds.
That's the way a usurping president assumes all power to himself. Obama is well on the way to dictatorship.
They've already taken just about everything else. Never surrender your guns!! This is our last stand!!
Can you tell a congressman you want him to go to hell?
Is it finally time we do something? By whatever means?
Eff these people!
Come and take 'em, you commie mofos!
Like that is gonna do any good.
What we should be doing is surrounding these bastards offices with torches and pitchforks! It's time to hang these bastards.
technically there is no exemption, their premiums are being subsidized by you and me. They don’t care what Obamacare costs or how high premiums go.
Just watch. 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. Doesn’t everyone know that by now?
Call to freedom bump!!
The article says it is a “proposed ruling,” by OPM to be issued next week. I thought Obamacare was a tax. Can you exempt this group, or any group from a tax by a ruling from OPM?
If it’s a tax, it’s an UNCONSTITUTIONAL tax. If we can’t get it repealed or tossed out by the SCOTUS, then the states must nullify it!!
If I was a liberal in 2013, I’d be laughing and pissing in everyone’s face too.
No one anywhere is even trying to stop them.
the ruling is to continue taxpayer subsidies for congressional health premiums. We’ll be paying the tax for them.
Wouldn’t equal protection somehow apply here?
And Muslims....
Pressure from Congress..... how do they know this? Who in congress? This is taxation without representation!
