Congress wins relief on Obamacare health plan subsidies
WASHINGTON | Wed Aug 7, 2013 6:15pm EDT
(Reuters) - Congress has won some partial relief for lawmakers and their staffs from the "Obamacare" health reforms that it passed and subjected itself to three years ago.
In a ruling issued on Wednesday, U.S. lawmakers and their staffs will continue to receive a federal contribution toward the health insurance that they must purchase through soon-to-open exchanges created by President Barack Obama's signature healthcare law.
The decision by the Office of Personnel Management, with Obama's blessing, will prevent the largely unintended loss of healthcare benefits for 535 members of the Senate and House of Representatives and thousands of Capitol Hill staff.

But Wednesday's proposed rule from the OPM, the federal government's human resources agency, means that Congress will escape the most onerous impact of law as it was written.
The OPM said the federal contributions will be allowed to continue for exchange-purchased plans for lawmakers and their staffs, ensuring that those working on Capitol Hill will effectively get the same health contributions as millions of other federal workers who keep their current plan.

despite Greenbeards 'who'? 'what'? obtuse massaging and uber- selective responses, as you see above there has been a carve out period.
It appears Congress and their staff won't eat what they cook without spices and helpings that joe sixpack doesn't.
If you support this preferential treatment (and its cousins- the Cornhusker kickback, Louisiana Purchase, Gator Aid, The Senior Swindle etc) the way it was meted out here just man up and say so, and no arguments in mitigation please that ship has sailed, in other words; "don't piss down my back and tell me its rainin'."

at the rate they change/massage the meaning of words, terms and statutes as they abrogate inconvenient bumps in the road they themselves built, I really, seriously cannot wait to see what they have on tap to kiss that Union booty...its gonna be a barn burner though.
