No Obamacare for Obama, his family, his staff, the vice president, the vice president’s staff, the rest of the administration, Nancy Pelosi, Nancy Pelosi’s staff, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Reid’s staff, all other House and Senate leaders and their staff, all committee members and their staff… the list goes on
A loophole written into the final healthcare reform bill passed on Sunday and signed into law by Obama yesterday, exempts Washington insiders and committee staffers from the mandate that now requires every American to purchase health insurance. Members of Congress and their office staffers will have to buy insurance through the state-run exchanges created under the bill. However, those working for congressional committees or for party leaders in the House and Senate are excluded. Politico reports:  /snip

I still don't know if this will have any affect on the V.A. or on Medicare, anyone know?
They also said that the IRS and H&HS would have access to our healthcare records! Not that is scary!

On the other hand, I'd also take away their franking privileges, barbershop, and health clinic. Make 'em work 40 hours/week on site, instead of bailing out on Thursday nights and coming back Monday from visiting their districts.

Jeesesh, evidently Obama didn't get the memo about "seniors" and "very high voting turnout."
Man, he's going to lose the house in Nov!

No ever said it was perfect, perhaps now instead of whinng the GOP would be a bit more open, oh wait they are doing everything than can to stall DC, including stopping everything at 2pm  Yea the party of NO goes nowhere

Status: offline 		So much for leading by example.... such a big fuckin' deal (just quoting Joe being Joe) as this health care reform is and he doesn't want it to apply to him or his crew.

Like Popeye I heard this today as well, and you know I think Glen Beck can be a bit out there at times but I listened to him today and frankly he made way to much sense, I'm developing a whole new sense of apprehension over the past two days.

I've been honestly taking a very close look at my Senator and Congressman, they better hope they're representing me (our district). If not to quote Mr. Spacely ar Spacely Sprockets....."You'rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrre FIRED!!!!!!!"

I'm no longer giving anyone the benefit of the doubt, the whole bunch seem to only be about their own personal power, security and gain.

And this bill is getting harder for them to defend, Nancy said they had to pass it to know what was in, well I'm not impressed.

We passed some bill, made it a law and after the smoke clears it appears we still need Health Care Reform.
