Exempted From Obamacare: Senior Staff Who Wrote the Bill
by Ben Domenech
For as long as the political fight took over the past year, the abbreviated review process on the health care legislation currently pending on
President Obama’s desk is unquestionably going to result in some surprises — as happens with any piece of mashed-up legislation — both for the congressmen who voted for it and for the American people.
One such surprise is found on page 158 of the legislation, which appears to create a carveout for senior staff members in the leadership offices and on congressional committees, essentially exempting those senior Democrat staffers who wrote the bill from being forced to purchase health care plans in the same way as other Americans.
