Congressional Staffers EXEMPTED from new HC Insurance Bill??? |
|
Neil Cavuto, Fox, just did a story stating that Sen.Reid and others are working to make it so their staffers do not have to participate in the new HCInsurance Bill.
Is it that bad. Congress has always had a very bad habit of exempting themselves from the laws they pass for the rest of us, but this takes the cake.

5. "Congress has always ... exempt[ed] themselves from the laws ... for the rest of us" |
|
Too bad the Constitution doesn't forbid that.
Seriously, that seems like a major oversight.

9. Yes, Neil Cavuto. Let's wait for a source that's even remotely credible. |
|
But if this turns out to be true... :nuke:

10. Well if this turns out to be true we need to bang the drums and put it in the spotlight -- |
|
It says they're 'working to make it' - so we have time.
I want to find out if this is accurate before I engage in (more) irate, enraged e-mails and phone calls.
