Congress has won some partial relief for lawmakers and their staffs from Obamacare

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 amendment's author, Republican Senator Charles Grassley, argued that if Obamacare plans were good enough for the American public, they were good enough for Congress. Democrats, eager to pass the reforms, went along with it.

..

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.

NYC will be here soon saying it ain't so, but it is.

My analogy. There are laws to register cars. If you use a company care you don't have to register, thus you are exempt from the requirement. If you own your own car then you are not exempt and must pay. Same thing with Obamacare.
