Never-ending nightmare: 6 in 10 have horrible health care exchange experience

And you do????  

Sen. Ron Johnson said Monday he will ask the courts to make sure that Congress is treated the same way regular Americans are treated in the Obamacare marketplace, even if it means taking away his colleagues’ health care subsidies, because the financial aid is not in the Obamacare law they passed in 2010 and forces taxpayers to pay for part of lawmakers’ premiums.

Mr. Johnson, Wisconsin Republican, filed suit against the Office of Personnel Management, the agency that months ago said members of Congress and their staffs could keep the subsidy that paid for up to 75 percent of their premiums under the Federal Employee Health Benefit Plan, even though they must obtain coverage from the Obamacare marketplace.

Mr. Johnson’s lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin, says the rule forces him to engage in activity that appears to violate the law. He also said the rule alienates members of Congress from their constituents, because they might think their representatives in Washington are accepting special treatment.

Mr. Johnson’s lawsuit is the latest wrinkle in the Capitol Hill fight over a provision in the Affordable Care Act written by Sen. Chuck Grassley, Iowa Republican, that requires lawmakers and staff to purchase health coverage from Obamacare’s state-based marketplaces. The goal was to make lawmakers go through what many Americans are facing.

But its implementation was hard to swallow for lawmakers who feared their staff members would leave when they could no longer afford their health premiums.

Mr. Johnson said the political class in Washington was eager to comply with the Grassley provision, “until they really started thinking about what the true effect on themselves would be.”

“And of course that’s when they went running to President Obama for special treatment. And they got it,” Mr. Johnson said at the Capitol, standing beside lead attorney Rick Essenberg and former Solicitor General Paul D. Clement, who will handle possible appeals.

Yes Achigan, I think I know what an open mind is a lot more than you and NB. I am willing to say I don't think Bush was a very good president. I am willing to say I don't always agree with the Republicans on social issues. You think Obama is perfect and the Dems are perfect. You think they can do no wrong.

Could you imagine being of any "Age of Reason", and observe 2 Billion dollars of Taxpayer money being defrauded from Medicare in just ONE Florida County?

There appears to be a lot of fraud going on in Florida with people falsely claiming they live there. What's the difference?

What difference does it make?

There is no difference. Fraud is fraud!!

Is lying fraud?

Is lying fraud?

Lies manufactured by the Washington Times and FOX News are not fraud.

How about lies manufactured by obama? Does that constitute fraud?

One good thing about the next wave is it's right before the elections.

It wouldn't surprise me if he moved it ahead so it doesn't affect the election as much. Would it surprise you?

No.
