Ok - if the law is still in effect at that time I'm sure they will.

It will still be, according to the latest decision of the Supreme Court. :mrgreen:

Oh I'm not implying it wouldn't be in place because of a legal challenge... :mrgreen:

That's the most intelligent argument you've ever made on this site. Congrats.

It was a hell of a lot better than making something up like you did.

Well if someone sees hypocrisy they usually call it out - since you didn't and I'm not a mind reader, what was I supposed to think?

I know this is difficult....and it might be a tad be hard at first, but I find ASKING the person usually does the trick.

Well this forum is a free exchange of opinions and ideas but perhaps I expect too much - so I'd be glad to ask next time.

That article says they're on th D.C. Exchange. Because they live in DC. I live in Minnesota, so I'm on the Minnesota exchange.

They have excellent health benefits through their employer, so their employer picks up a lot of the tab, but that's not new. Nor is it unique, most people get health insurance through their employer.

Wow, just wow. :roll:

Stunning rebuttal.

Stunning is your idiot post trying to compare Congress to ordinary people who are cover by their employer. It is stunningly stupid, retarded, inappropriate, and it goes down hill from there. Your post is so ****ING partisan is beyond the pale. You had to drink a tanker-load of kool-aid to post that and overlook the difference.


I'm done.

That's partisan??

Hate to break it to you, but Congress and their staffers are covered by FEHB, the employer based health care plan they participate in.

I guess you consider facts partisan..

I know what their covered with a hell of a lot more than you do. But what you're talking about is irrelevant. They claim to be on the exchanges like the common man, but their exchange is not like the others as the link describes. Try adding something useful to the debate will ya?

While I'm sure you have focused your razor like intellect on this problem, the fact remains that federal employees are like other employees- they are given health benefits partially paid for by their employer.

Yeah, but that's not what we're talking about precisely. Maybe you could focus your razor sharp intellect on PRECISELY what we're talking about.

It's the Washington, D.C. Exchange. It's not some special separate one.
 
Nobody has to use the exchange. Anybody can buy insurance directly from an insurance company it they wish to. So, in that sense, everyone is exempted from the exchanges.

Everyone except Congress and their staff, ironically. They are the one group of people singled out by the bill as being required to purchase insurance off the exchanges.
