We live in a Kleptocracy where the government exists to increase the personal wealth and political power of its officials and the ruling class at the expense of the wider population.

... and what makes it worse is that so many still look to these people to "make their lives better". They're willing to put up with, even defend, in-your-face insults like this. Astonishing.

These fuckers should be the first ones in line, no exemptions.

Shit. They are worried about it costing them more money?? What about we taxpayers??

Of course they are going to try to get the taxpayers to pick up the tab. I'm so surprised.

The problem stems from whether members and aides set to enter the exchanges would have their health insurance premiums subsidized by their employer — in this case, the federal government. If not, aides and lawmakers in both parties fear that staffers — especially low-paid junior aides — could be hit with thousands of dollars in new health care costs, prompting them to seek jobs elsewhere. Older, more senior staffers could also retire or jump to the private sector rather than face a big financial penalty.

(Also on POLITICO: Baucus will continue ACA push)

Plus, lawmakers — especially those with long careers in public service and smaller bank accounts — are also concerned about the hit to their own wallets.

Oh yeah. Its okay for we taxpayers to get shafted by the ACA but apparantly the Clowns and their aides should be exempt?? What a load of shit.

"Holy crap", they say. "This is too expensive. This could screw us up. We can't do this."

Well, no shit.

Incredible.

So now congress is worried it will have a negative impact on their employees?

Well no shit sherlock.

Why is it congress is so damn slow to see the downside when everyone else saw it before it was ever passed?

Bunch of morons

When it affects them. That's when they see it.

Ironically they still don't see it as being bad for us. Just for them.

They aren't worried about us. If they were then they would have read the damend thing before they passed it.

If they had read it they would know its got 21 tax increases in it and they would see what the rest of us saw from the get go.

The ACA is a POS and they are now beginning to catch a clue of just how big a POS it really is.

 

[LordBrownTrout]

It started about 15 years ago. They reach new levels of ineptitude on a daily basis now.

 

[OriginalShroom]

Just remember one thing..

Obamacare passed without a single Republican vote in either house.

This mess belongs squarely in the Democrat's corner.

 

[Remodeling Maidiac]

No liberal responses? Total silence from them.

I assume you're talking about Jake Sherman and John Bresnahan? Didn't take them long to start walking back this story but, then again, it's Politico.
