My brother in Korea saw this. I checked several days last week. How did we miss it? Maybe we just assumed it was a already done deal?We saw it.
Senators, representatives, and their top aides will be able to stay under the current subsidized health care system. That means they will continue to get a taxpayer-funded contribution to help pay for their health care premiums.

You mean the worker class, Senator?
If the Pubs really want to crank the issue, have the House propose to give every person and every business a one-year waiver from Obamacare, and dare the Dems to vote against it...
