Obamacare – Good Enough for You, But not Good Enough for Congress

If you want to get a very clear idea of the utter contempt in which our corrupt political class holds the voters who put them in office, look no further than the Congressional Obamacare exemption. Don’t confuse this with previous exemptions a bystander Congress has allowed the Obama administration to award supportive unions and other politically favored groups.

This exemption is specifically for Congress.

Under Obamacare Members of Congress and staff are required to buy individual health insurance from state insurance exchanges, just like their constituents Ma & Pa Kettle.

The story gets one thing wrong -- ordinary Americans aren't required to buy insurance from the state health insurance exchanges. They can buy it if they want, but there's no requirement they do so. The law specifically said that members of Congress and their staff must buy health insurance from these exchanges. The regulatory change discussed does change the intent of the law, but it's disingenuous to say that members of Congress are being exempted from requirements that others must obey.
