Republican legislators want to keep popular Obamacare provisions for themselves and their staff.


House Republicans appear to have included a provision that exempts Members of Congress and their staff from their latest health care plan.

The new Republican amendment, introduced Tuesday night, would allow states to waive out of Obamacare’s ban on pre-existing conditions. This means that insurers could once again, under certain circumstances, charge sick people higher premiums than healthy people.

Pre-existing conditions opt out will kill thousands of people

1. Damn shame that they get to keep some of the Affordable Care Act

prime benefits, but the constituents they serve do not.

2. It won't fly. Even if the House passes it

The Republican Senate has to run statewide on that shit, and that's a fight none of them want to have against an electorate that's pissed at the president already.
