The Senate this week warned lawmakers and their staff not to sign up for Obamacare’s health exchanges, saying that the administration hasn’t yet finalized the rules for how to keep paying for their premiums.

“Members and staff are advised that they should delay enrolling in health insurance plans until we are able to offer further guidance as to how they should enroll in these insurance plans for 2014,” the Senate disbursing office said in an email to staffers Monday. “Premature enrollment could adversely impact eligibility for the employer premium contribution.”

The health exchanges are slated to open next week, and mark a key milestone for the Affordable Care Act.

Wait until they tell Lakeesha that her mother will get the pink pill.

Does this mean that everyone should delay signing up for the same reason, that it might compromise employer premium contributions?

Isn’t it free for the gimme crowd? Nothing really changes for them. It’s the taxpayers who get socked.

I have a hunch the “gimme” crowd might eventually be seeing a portion of their welfare payments being deducted as their share of Obamacare. That would not sit well, I’m guessing!

I don’t think that will happen. They are a D voting block. Watch for the unions to be exempt as well, and not just Congress, but ALL gub’mint employees, and undocumented workers.

But those exemptions will not be handed out till the mid-terms are over you can bet.

Biggest problem the cities face now is unfunded liabilities. This was only a way to fund those liabilities, thus a tax.

A federal fund will be created to finance those exemptions I reckon.

To the average Joe, it’s BOHICA.

BUMP
As many Americans as possible need to see what these sick scumbags are up to.
If anything ever needed to “go viral”, it’s this.

I’m hearing more and more squawking from the completely “low-info” types who are STUNNED that they’re going to have to ACTUALLY PAY MONEY for this thing!

Amazing how expensive all the "free stuff" is, isn't it?
