“This is Rich: ObamaCare For You But Not For Me” -Rep Paul Gosar

(NY Times) As President Obama barnstorms across the nation cheering his health care law, one audience very close to home is growing increasingly anxious about the financial implications of ObamaCare—Members of Congress and their Staffers who didn’t read the bill before passing it. I digress.

Under a wrinkle that dates back since the days when California Democrat Rep Nancy Pelosi said, “We have to pass it so you can find what’s in it.” Members of Congress and thousands of their aides (many of them that helped write the flawed legislation) have discovered they are required to get ObamaCare through their state based insurance exchanges.

Whoops: Democrats that rammed the bill through Congress when they controlled both chambers, have now realized they failed to include language in the law for the federal government American Taxpayers, to continue to pay their share of the health care premiums for Congress and their Staffers comprehensive coverage–if the taxpayers are not picking up the tab, this will require an additional $5,000 a year for individuals and $11,000 for families under some of the most popular health care plans–not surprising, that idea is not very popular on Capitol Hill.

Surprises never cease. During the past week when it comes to President Obama’s signature piece of legislation that Democrats passed without a single Republican vote, which IRS employees have been designated to enforce ObamaCare’s individual mandate we learned, they don’t want it either.

If ObamaCare is so good for the rest of us, why is it that Congress that voted for the health care law, their aides and other staffers that helped to write the legislation and the IRS workers that will enforce ObamaCare’s Individual Mandate, don’t want it for themselves and their families?
