Arguing federal workers should not get special treatment, Rand Paul says he does not want taxpayers subsidizing the personal health-care plans of any federal employee — including Chief Justice John Roberts — anymore.
With some in Congress arguing lawmakers and their staff should not get subsidies to cover their health insurance as President Obama’s health-care law goes into effect, the Republican senator from Kentucky told The Daily Caller on Sunday that he’s going to start pushing a constitutional amendment that goes even further.
Paul’s proposal — outlawing any special exemptions for government employees — would mean all federal workers would have to purchase health insurance on the new Obamacare exchanges instead of getting taxpayer-funded subsidies. Some critics say those subsidies amount to special treatment. The Obamacare health insurance exchange opens Oct 1.

No special treatment - especially for these activists that called this thing a legal tax....
ReplyDeleteThey are not "public servants" (they LOVE to claim that title), or "representatives". They are, and have acted the part of, kings and princes. Above the law they impose upon the serfs and peasants. A special class of individuals. Say what you will, but their actions, on a daily basis, prove this beyond ANY and ALL question. Keep cheering....they think they're doing great and in reality, aren't they???? I know, I know --- the next election is going to "change things". Count on it.
ReplyDeleteYes, Rand, and it should include all, not just Obamacare, but it will be difficult to word, as that's the only thing in the world that the government requires people to purchase. Everything else is Constitutionally purchased by free will.
