The Progressive Political Class exempts itself from Obamacare

From that bastion of Conservative News – CBS One such surprise is found on page 158 of the legislation, which appears to create a carve out for senior staff members in the leadership offices and on congressional committees, essentially exempting those senior Democrat staffers who wrote the bill from being forced to purchase health care …
