Barack Obama personally negotiated an Obamacare exemption for Congress and Congressional staffers.

Only the chumps will be forced on this disastrous healthcare plan by the time it’s all said and done.

The Daily Caller reported:
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 theAffordable 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 coveredby 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 costs.Last week, when President Barack Obama came to the Hill to meet with Senate Democrats, he informed them that he would personally get involved to sort out the confusion, and the White House said that OPM would issue guidelines this week.
