As the ObamaCare<\/a> debate continues, today’s Washington Times<\/a> had a very interesting piece of information about Congress<\/a> and healthcare. The article reports that an internal Senate<\/a> email warns Senators<\/a> not to sign up for ObamaCare immediately because the health exchanges have not been completely set up yet.<\/p>\n

The article quotes the email:<\/p>\n

\u201cMembers and staff are advised that they should delay enrolling in health<\/a> insurance<\/a> plans until we are able to offer further guidance as to how they should enroll in these insurance plans for 2014,\u201d the Senate<\/a> disbursing office said in an email to staffers Monday. \u201cPremature enrollment could adversely impact eligibility for the employer premium contribution.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

What about the rest of us–we are all supposed to be participating by next Tuesday?<\/p>\n

The article further reports:<\/p>\n

During the 2009 health care<\/a> debate Congress<\/a> approved language insisting that lawmakers and staffers in their personal offices will lose their federal health plans<\/a> and must shop for plans on the exchanges \u2014 though last month\u2019s ruling by the Office of Personnel Management<\/a> said taxpayers will still continue to pay 72 percent of the premiums.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Republicans said that\u2019s a benefit most Americans<\/a> won\u2019t get.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Congress is not supposed to be a protected class–they should be forced to live under the same law that the rest of us are required to follow.<\/p>\n

This is just another reason ObamaCare should be stopped in its tracks before it totally destroys healthcare in America.<\/p>\n
