By "exempted" you mean a one-year delay requested by businesses?
I mean ANYTHING THE REST OF US DONT GET.
Congress used to routinely exempt themselves from the laws they passed, and lately have disavowed that practice. But when the going gets tough they retreat to self-exemption once again.
It is utter hypocrital bullshit for them to impose that crap on us while exempting themselves AT ALL.
Congress gets a lot of goodies you don't get.
They get single payer government health care. That was the original plan by the way until Republicans intervened and wanted to go with the individual mandate.
They also, like Michelle Bachmann, get to work on and pass legislation that personally benefits them..with your money. That's called conflict of interest and if they were a normal lawyer or judge they couldn't do that shit.
They also generally get nice cushy jobs after they leave congress. That's from the corporations that put them there.
So it's interesting you are just pissed about this.
