Congress Avoiding Obamacare

In more ways than one.

(CNSNews.com) – Both the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives certified that they had only 45 employees each in order to sign up for the District of Columbia’s Small Business Exchange. But 12,359 – or 86 percent of the exchange’s enrollees – are members of Congress, congressional staff members, and their spouses and dependents, according to an appeal filed with the D.C. Court of Appeals by Judicial Watch.

The public interest law firm announced Monday that it is appealing the February dismissal of its lawsuit challenging congressional participation in the Obamacare exchange even though the D.C. Exchange Act limits enrollment to small companies with 50 or fewer employees.

“Congress obviously has far more than 50 employees,” Judicial Watch attorney Michael Bekesha pointed out in his opening brief. “It has thousands of employees.”

Congress enrolled in the small business exchange when its previous coverage under the Federal Employee Health Benefits plan was terminated by the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and congressional employees stood to lose thousands of dollars in “employer contributions” if they enrolled in the District’s individual exchange.  more

7 Comments on Congress Avoiding Obamacare

  1. Congress is an on going criminal conspiracy. If this next election doesn’t cause me to believe we can make some changes then I’m making changes on my own. I just don’t know what they will be yet. But change is coming one way or another.

  2. That’s funny …….. I was thinking the same thing about 20 or 30 minutes ago. Maybe they could use one of those bombs that just kills the people (preferably one specific to federal employees including congress) without destroying the physical structures.
