Congress and their minions will be subject to all the same rules and regulations as all us other folks. If it is good for the regulatee it must be good for the regulator........
"For months massive discontent over a potential rise in out-of-pocket premium expenses under Obamacare has haunted Capitol Hill. Currently, the federal government pays 75 percent of the health insurance premiums for congressional staffers. Senators and representatives feared they would lose staff if this heavy subsidy disappeared as it was scheduled to do under the ACA. The White House, reportedly including the President himself, has now directly intervened to solve this knotty problem—for congressional staff, anyway."
"So congressional staffers will still be forced onto the health insurance exchanges, but they will get a subsidy much higher than average Americans in a similar situation would get. It’s a lot easier to look at Obamacare as a brilliant piece of legislation when you get its benefits without paying its costs."
