As Americans anxiously await the implementation of the
Affordable Care Act, or as it is widely known today as Obamacare, President
Obama has made the decision to make sure that Congress and their staffs will
continue to keep their healthcare subsidies.
Senator Chuck Grassly, a Republican from Iowa threw those
subsidies in question by proposing an amendment to the healthcare law by
requiring the political staff to enter into the healthcare exchange of purchase
“insurance” by law.
However, after meeting with Democrats, President Obama has
personally assured his fellow colleagues that they would not be losing their
subsidies after all. This exemption for
staff will allow members to retain their “executive subsidies” under the
Affordable Care Act. What’s more interesting is how Obamacare continues to be
tailor-made in order to meet the needs of those who support the law.
“These proposed
regulations implement the administrative aspects of switching Members of
Congress and Congressional staff to their new insurance plans — the same plans
available to millions of Americans through the new Exchanges,” said Jon Foley,
OPM Director of Planning and Policy, in a statement.
The political healthcare management is showing Americans that our version of Obamacare is not good enough for the politicians who wrote the Affordable Care Act. A double standard that Americans are understandable upset about.
