To this point not one Democrat who voted for ObamaCare has come forward with the claim that they were giving up their Federal Employees Health Benefits Program with the intent to enter ObamaCare. In fact, amendments were voted down that would have done just that. Our representatives rejected showing their belief in ObamaCare when offered the chance to join. They refused the poison being foisted upon the citizenry.
Remember that when they belatedly claim that the following was intentional.
(ObamaCare) apparently bars members of Congress from the federal employees health program, on the assumption that lawmakers should join many of their constituents in getting coverage through new state-based markets known as insurance exchanges.
Brad Miller and his cohorts in congress have apparently inadvertently legislated themselves out of their cushy plan and into Obamacare against their own desires.
The new exchanges do not have to be in operation until 2014. But because of a possible “drafting error,” the report says, Congress did not specify an effective date for the section excluding lawmakers from the existing program.
Under well-established canons of statutory interpretation, the report said, “a law takes effect on the date of its enactment” unless Congress clearly specifies otherwise. And Congress did not specify any other effective date for this part of the health care law. The law was enacted when President Obama signed it three weeks ago.
This is proof that our representatives did not read the bill and did not even know how it related to their own needs. If they did not know how ObamaCare impacted them, then how could they possibly have any idea how it effects their constituents.
The malfeasance practiced by Brad Miller and his fellow representatives who voted for ObamaCare would lead to the end of their carers in the private world of employment. So it should be with Brad Miller in his insulated government job as representative of NC-13..
