If Obamacare is so great, why are Congressmen who passed the bill want no part of it?

If Obamacare is so great, why do Congressmen who passed the bill want no part of it? (Even though they make at least $174,000 a year, most are taking federal subsidies to pay for their insurance plans.)

    They have exempted themselves and their staff.

    I remember when Fox was reporting secret talks when politicians were considering exempting themselves. Liberals here all cried "oh, yeah just another Fox lie". Fox was on the BALL!

    Apparently mainstream news sources were too stupid to get the most cutting edge news

    That's BS Left Hand Black

    You can see from the lack of answers, they have no good reasons as to why congressmen would do such a thing

    Congress is NOT exempt, just like 99.5% of the people in the US is not exempt to it. "Obamacare" is only a name for the Affordable Care Act, and members of Congress, along with their staff, are included in it.

    No one under Obamacare (including Congress) are required to drop their existing healthcare coverage and get insurance from one of the state exchanges. If you currently have coverage from your employer (which Congress has the same healthcare coverage as all other federal employees), you can keep that coverage if you want.

    So please explain now how Congress is exempt from "Obamacare".

    Interesting question. Quite strong on the levels of RETARDATION but nonetheless interesting and frankly HILARIOUS! YOU JUST MIGHT BE THE DUMBEST f*U*C*K THAT'S EVER POSTED ON YAHOO! Off the top of my head I'm thinking one way would be to scratch your stinky wet flabby fat C*U*N*T. This might prevent the blast of hot diarrhea that squirts out of your flabby wizard sleeve/beef curtain, which is making it all stinky and red and one of the reasons why your sloppy gash of a wet anus is so dry. The other reason being because your a slanted backwoods F*U*C*K with S*H*I*T for Brains and you have no integrity or understanding on anything politically or economically. Here's a thought -- SHUT THE F*U*C*K UP & GO F*U*C*K YOURSELF you stupid fat F*U*C*K*I*N C*U*N*T!

    Just food for thought --

    Another complete conservative myth. Congress has the same plan the rest of do now. What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

    They have no need for it, they have their own healthcare like all Federal employees do.

    They don't want to mingle with the people whose lives they ruin.
