Congress wipes out congressional health care insurance Legislate in haste, nhl jerseys repent at leisure. Looks like Congress is having one of those "Holy S!" moments; it appears they have royally mucked up their own health insurance for all 535 members of Congress and untold congressional employees. In a hurry, they forgot to get it right and wrote it all wrong; now it s the law. The law puts Congress in the same boat they built for the rest of America, without a clue what the new health care reform will mean to them. The beauty of their dilemma is pure poetic justice to some they have written law requiring that they move into a system that doesn t yet exist.(Congressional Research Service) How could that be? Simple, a scaled down provision of Republic Senator Grassley s "Health Reform Accountability Act" this one requiring all congress members and their employees, with the exception of Senate committee and leadership staffs, to get their health insurance through the same health insurance exchanges where the general public would get theirs was left in the bill, unopposed, and was signed into law by President Moncler Mens classic T-shirt with dark green Obama. may be able to retain this coverage."

Dare Moncler Women Vest purple tarn Rabbit hats Zip they try to plead it is unfair to execute a law conceived in moncler outlet sale uk haste, poorly composed, legally illiterate, and signed into law unread? What a mess their insurance is in now; and these are the same buffoons who wrote ours trust us, they said. Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Obama they "built" ObamaCare and no matter how it turns out, from beginning to end, they own it. This post perfectly demonstrates just how ignorant most people are when it comes to the law and politics.

In other words, If the law is so unclear that it Moncler down Coats Men Hooded mid-length dark blue MAY or MAY NOT apply to congress, then congress can simply apply it in a way that it doesn t.

Think about what you do for a living. All day, every day. You are probably moncler red vest pretty good at it, right? Well politics is what they do all day. And they are good at it. Do you really think this "mistake" is going to catch them unaware
