Washington (CNN) -- In the U.S. Capitol basement, an auditorium full of congressional staff grapples with the consequences of how their bosses upstairs wrote the Affordable Care Act. Starting Monday, they will have to choose a health care plan. "A lot of employees are planning to separate because of this," one man stood up and declared at the first-ever congressional orientation for Obamacare. By "separate," he meant quit. It was one of many sharp moments of concern at the two information sessions set up by House administrators Thursday.

It might be fun if we all called our elected officials and asked if they're signing up for what we're forced to sign up for.
New Litmus test. We will only vote for you give up your current government plan and sign up for Obamacare.
“...their bosses upstairs..” Herein lies the problem... They have no idea who they work for and we are not acting like “bosses”
Awe too bad. The Congress Critters get to feel what the American People are feeling. Cry me a River.
I second the motion.
Good idea.
Call and ask the DC and local offices for letters explaining the Senator’s and Congressman’s support for ObamaCare in writing, as well as an explanation for their “yes” vote. Then ask if the staff is signing up for ObamaCare and document that as well. Document the request and the response if there is one. Great to use during 2014 election, ya think?
So, what are they going to do if they leave? Obamacare is mandatory.
The mix up occurred due to white hut not understanding that accept and except are different woods with different meanings
And they are totally lost in both of these “WOODS”!
Hasn't Shelia Jackson Lee's staff suffered enough, already?

You voted for Obamacare. Do you stand by your vote to force millions of Americans out of heath insurance plans that they want and away from the doctors they trust? Or are you saying you vote for bills without knowing their content?
What in either answer qualifies you for reelection as my representative?
You're right.
“A lot of employees are planning to separate because of this,” one man stood up and declared at the first-ever congressional orientation for Obamacare.”
Good. Let them go and don’t replace them. It was the Congressional staff that wrote the 2000+ page bill our Congresscritters voted for without reading.
Eliminate the staff and you have much less harmful legislation. Even better, get rid of the staff and make the Congresscritters stay in barracks style dormitories on Capitol Hill while Congress is in session. They’d be out of session most of the time.
Some congress-critters are claiming that they’re signing up for Obamacare. I don’t believe them.
Having a bunch of them “exit” would be sorta like a mini sequester. Perhaps we are about to see how “essential” most of them are.
why would they..
