Obama Bribes Congress and Staff With Obamacare Subsidies

Just a day after President Barack Obama told Senate Democrats he had personally engaged in the issue of his signature health care law’s effect on lawmakers and their staff, it appears there’s a solution.
Word began circulating around Capitol Hill that the Office of Personnel Management would soon issue guidance to address the way the health care law’s exchanges affect members of Congress and those employed in their offices. Senate aides initially declined to discuss the matter, but Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid confirmed the existence of a deal to CQ Roll Call leaving the Capitol late Thursday — and a White House official confirmed details of the plan later Thursday evening.
Basically, OPM needed to determine that the federal government could help pay the cost of premiums on the exchanges for Congressional employees.
“I’m glad it’s done,” the Nevada Democrat said, directing a request for details to the White House. More
And Congress can't work up the nerve to defund Obamacare? This cannot stand. This is nothing short of a blatant disregard of the law.
Section 1312(d)(3)(D) of the Affordable Care Act states it clearly: “The only health plans that the Federal Government may make available to Members of Congress and their congressional staff with respect to their service as a Member of Congress or congressional staff shall be health plans that are created under this Act…or offered through an Exchange established under this Act.”
What we are seeing is a taxpayer funded bribe by Obama to Congress and its staff. Evidently Congress can be bought. I can hardly wait for the congressional town halls to start.
