A growing chorus of Republican lawmakers is calling on the Obama administration to reverse its decision to let members of Congress and their staffs use taxpayer money to buy insurance under the new health care law, setting up a politically touchy debate as more of the law takes effect.
The lawmakers have unveiled draft bills in both the House and Senate they say would force members of Congress to experience Obamacare the same way many average Americans will — having to pay out-of-pocket for insurance in state-based exchanges.
"...force members of Congress to experience Obamacare the same way many average Americans will —"
This is an historic first. Can anyone suggest the next area for the Republicans to reform?
force members of Congress to experience AMERICA the same way many average Americans will —
THAT'S WHAT WE'RE MISSING FROM OUR HOUSE OF "REPRESENTATIVES"
Go for it REPUBLICANS!!!!
The bureaucracy: the new fourth branch of government. The bureaucracy is permanent, unaccountable, unelected and choking us like a weed. The bureaucrat exists, generating nothing of value, using perceived problems to justify his existence.
