$174K-Per-Year Congressmen Will Get Special Obamacare Subsidy

Under Obamacare -- as it is being implemented under a regulation issued by the White House Office of Personnel Management (OPM) -- a middle-aged member of Congress who earns an annual salary of $174,000 from the taxpayers, and who has a wife and children, will get a $10,000 subsidy from the taxpayers (over and above his $174,000 salary) to buy a health insurance plan that a regular citizen making almost $80,000 less than the congressman will not get.

The Affordable Care Act (ACA), popularly known as Obamacare, included language mandating that members of Congress and their staff buy their now-mandated health insurance plans through a government exchange.

    This is what is so screwed up about this country - they should NOT get any more than the average Joe Blow out here gets. They are so damned self serving, it is really sickening.

    They are not "representatives" any longer....even the ones who seek to be "the people's champion". Rand Paul, Pelosi, Cruz, it doesn't matter. Which is what I've been telling you for years. Wake the heck up. You're getting played like it's Texas Hold'em. They are elite rulers now. And don't give a crap about what you think about it. $174,000 and they get a subsidy? Don't bother calling your Congressman and voicing your displeasure. Millionaires don't care what the serfs think or want. Maybe the next "your guy" will "change things".....lol.....hang them all. Every single one. On TV.
