SPECIAL POST
Several times, the Democrats in Congress have made a run at avoiding losing their cushy, free Congressional health plans by going on ObamaCare. Several times, an uproar from the American public has caused them to dial their dastardly scheme back. Now, it appears they may have found a way to screw us anyway.
The legal experts agree that Members of Congress can no longer get their health coverage premiums paid for by the government. That amounts to an annual pay cut of $5,000 to $10,000 per Member when they go under ObamaCare. A House Democrat, speaking on condition of anonymity, said, “This was a stupid provision that never should have gotten into the law.”
As the October deadline looms for signing up, staffers are said to be working overtime looking for ways to avoid the law. One method being considered is for the President to cover premiums out of "discretionary spending." While that may be against the law, Obama considers himself to be above the law. Taking it one step further, there is nothing in the law to keep a Member of Congress or a staffer from buying their own insurance that provides coverages and benefits far in excess of what ObamaCare provides. That being the case, you don't suppose the President would be paying for that additional insurance as well, do you?
That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
