They are not offered the usual Federal employee plans.
Seriously.

What's good enough for The People is good enough for them, supposedly.

The exchange only applies to individual coverage. They have access to federal employees' group plans.

Get the gubermint out of determining personal choice based on personal needs. Force obamaocare on all gubermint employees and you will see how fast this gets changed.

Nope. No federal employee group plans for them. Only Obamacare. I even talked to the lady who manages the program for them. She confirmed it.

[Note: Starting in 2014, the only health care coverage made available to members of Congress and their employees by the federal government will be coverage offered through the Health Insurance Exchange created by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act - the "Obamacare Act."]

But if they are on ACA it would mean they would probably pay less and have government health care if they repeal it. Repeal and congress goes back on the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program. So they have a self interest there too.

The question is, when that woman told Tom Cotton what plan he had, why didn't he respond with ACA? If he is on the ACA and its so bad, wouldn't he have responded with everything bad about it that he disliked?

Congressmen or women get access to every plan available on the ACA. Unlike the reset of America. So they have super ACA Platinum bronze plated edition for congress and congressional staff.

"Just like everyone else members of congress and their staff must purchase their coverage through the small businesses part of the health insurance marketplace.

Although Congress will have to purchase their insurance through ObamaCare’s health insurance exchange like millions of other Americans they can choose any plan they wish. So while a typical American may only be able to afford a basic plan members of Congress will be able to choose the most expensive plans and pay the 40% excise tax that comes on the backs of these plans.

The federal government pays about 72% of the cost of the various health plans available to federal employees or 75% of the cost of the chosen plan, whichever is less. Private employers on average pay more than 80% of the cost of health benefits."


That's why they don't like talking about it, because their plans rock on the ACA and don't want people to know it.

Hey G2-They might not pick the most expensive plan. They might pick the basic bronze plan and self-insure with an HSA. That actually makes more sense.

And some Citizens might pick the gold-plated version. Because most Americans are terrible with money decisions.

You have a point there. I think they will commit political suicide if they repeal it and leave people in the lurch. There are some positive things about Obamacare that should be retained if they are interested in another term.

The real question is are they going to buy private for themselves with health savings accounts or whatever scam they are trying to fool people with or do they expect to put themselves back on government care?

I have someone swearing to me that they didn't get on Obama care because it they tried but it was MADE INCONVENIENT.

The IRS 'penalized' the person so that THEY GOT $0 TAX RETURN.

I had a similar but different experience. I'D DONE NOTHING WRONG. During Obama a phony charge was concoted

RESULT: same shit. Obama government didn't only spend $10 trillion in deficit: Obama government also stole ALL THE IRS TAX RETURNS OF MANY REPUBLICANS (remember the baseball player pissing on the IRS sign?)

LOW IS LERNER

TURN ABOUT IS FAIR PLAY OBAMA

your ass is getting inflation wiped out Obama !!!
