Too many in Washington want special
treatment and don't want to be covered by Obamacare, despite... Sen.
David Vitter is the skunk at the Capitol Hill party. The Louisiana Republican
has introduced a measure in Congress called the No Washington Exemption from
Obamacare Act. Vitter’s proposal requires that all senators, representatives
and congressional staff members participate in Obamacare on the same basis as
their fellow citizens. The measure requires the same participation by the
president, heads of executive branch departments and agencies, and
administration political appointees. No special treatment. No exemptions. No
illegal premium subsidies. Live under the same laws that apply to everybody
else getting health insurance.
Makes perfect sense, right? Just don’t
expect Vitter’s bill to become law because too many in Washington want special
treatment and don’t want to be covered by Obamacare. Vitter pointed to this
distressing reality during a recent speech before the Senate: “All across the
country, as we see daily in the news reports, Americans are struggling with
real issues and real challenges created by Obamacare ... but, as that is going
on, Washington, leaders here, get an exemption, basically a carve-out, special
treatment, a subsidy. That is particularly egregious, particularly unfair, when
ordinary Americans suffer under these very real challenges.”…..To Read More….
