I got this email that said:
Right now, Members of Congress and their staffs are receiving a $5,000 to $10,000 health care insurance subsidy paid for by taxpayers like you and me.
They don’t have to live under ObamaCare like ordinary Americans. And they are fighting to protect this lavish subsidy with everything they have.
.. We have ... a national grassroots campaign ready to go to help pass Senator David Vitter’s No Washington Exemption from ObamaCare bill.
However, we don’t yet have the funding on hand to launch an all-out 90-day campaign. And that is what Senator Vitter needs in order to pass his bill and end this ridiculous double standard.
===========================
1. Is this true, complete and accurate? Is the insurance subsidy really at 5,000-10,000
and is it for all Members of Congress and their Staff?
I remember Steve Stockman making a joke why not hire all citizens to be Congressional staff
to get their insurance coverage instead!
2. Does Senator Vitter really have such a bill?
Wouldn't it be better to lobby THE OTHER WAY:
that if govt employees have the option to OPT IN OR OUT,
then ALL citizens should be able to OPT IN OR OUT.
Can anyone post links to proposed revisions to ACA? is there one pushing for the public option
to opt in or out? That to me would be the simplest fix to make the mandates constitutional.
And by the Code of Ethics for Govt Service, civil servants should seek the most economical means.
