Don't forget that republicans recently voted to exempt themselves from their healthcare bill: Why Republicans Exempted Their Own Insurance From Obamacare Rollback: The unusual nature of staff and member health benefits.mloamiller wrote:President Trump threatens to end a government subsidy (also known as our tax dollars) that pays part of the ObamaCare premiums for Congress. Without it, Congress would be required to select from and pay for the same types of plans the average citizen has available to them. Given how reluctant they are to make any changes to ObamaCare, they shouldn't have a problem with that, right? Wrong. Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy described it this waySo Sen. Murphy equates having the same healthcare options as the rest of us as a "punishment" and "ending health care" for them."This is a clear threat to Congress: pass my health bill or as punishment I will end health care for you, your staff, & your constituents.”
Typical liberal hypocrisy - it's good for you, but I want something better. Oh, and you get to pay for it, too.
Bottom line..... they do not believe that what is good for the goose is good for the gander. Does Congress seriously think they can treat their constituencies this way indefinitely, without some kind of revolt?
