Uh.... That Wasn't Supposed To Happen.....



Epic....

Washington--It is often said that the new health care law will affect almost every American in some way.

In a new report, the Congressional Research Service says the law may have significant unintended consequences for the “personal health insurance coverage” of senators, representatives and their staff members.

For example, it says, the law may “remove members of Congress and Congressional staff” from their current coverage, in the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program, before any alternatives are available.

The confusion raises the inevitable question: If they did not know exactly what they were doing to themselves, did lawmakers who wrote and passed the bill fully grasp the details of how it would influence the lives of other Americans? (Can I select "Things Every American who Pays Taxes Knows for 1,000?--ed.)

The law promises that people can keep coverage they like, largely unchanged. For members of Congress and their aides, the federal employees health program offers much to like. But, the report says, the men and women who wrote the law may find that the guarantee of stability does not apply to them.

“It is unclear whether members of Congress and Congressional staff who are currently participating in F.E.H.B.P. may be able to retain this coverage,” the research service said in an 8,100-word memorandum.

And even if current members of Congress can stay in the popular program for federal employees, that option will probably not be available to newly elected lawmakers, the report says.

This is what happens when you don't read unconstitutional bills that have far reaching consequences and steal freedom.  Even your freedom....
 
How ironic that they will be forced to live with the same rules we all will.  Unless of course, they have the onions to just repeal it.
 
This is Darwin in action.....

Repeal the healthcare bill....hmmm was that a pig that just flew bye? Yeah I think we're stuck with this healthcare bill. Voting for this bill was NEVER about health care. I figure I have another 3 years to work in this biz and then it will be time to change to something else, until the govt can coerce me into doing it again. I don't want to be around when the 30 million hit the emergency departments across the country.
