"The Fix Is In" -- Drudge Acts Surprised -- LOL

We talked about this last week, the "$10,000 wrinkle, Tuesday, about how O'BamaCare was passed with understanding that Congress would have to play along. Of course, we knew that if Congress was not part of the deal, the bill never would have passed. And then later, a bill would be passed to exempt Congress.

So, today we read "the fix is in." Congress and staffers will be exempt from ObamaCare. The Daily Caller is reporting:

Members of Congress and Hill staffers will not lose their health-care subsidies from the government when Obamacare is implemented because of an exception proposed Wednesday by the Office of Personnel Management.

Under the current system, the government covers most of the cost of health-care premiums for members and their staffers. But an amendment to the Affordable Care Act — proposed by Iowa Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley — threw those subsidies into question saying that members and staff must enter into the exchanges or be covered by insurance “created” by law.

The potential for staff losing the subsidies led to concerns of “brain drain” from the Hill if staffers left as a result of the increased cost.

Apparently the president personally worked the issue. LOL. It was going to happen regardless.

The runaway train wreck continues to gain speed. It's just a matter of time before Congress is forced to delay the individual mandate, and again, we have almost a year before that needs to be done. Until then Wal-Mart and municipalities will continue with their plans to push their employees unto ObamaCare.
