They had to read the bill to find out what was in it.

“May” in the article means “might,” as in the law, when enacted, might remove the legislators and staffers from their plans. It does not mean “has the [arbitrary] power to do so.” The reporter was not suggesting that the congressmen/women would be shaken down or threatened with removal. That just isn’t how it works.

It’s ok…we understand why you would want to go way off topic. It’s embarrassing for liberals…so you desperately want to change the subject.

I guess everyone who voted on the bill should just get a medicaid card have them go find a doctor that takes it…. give it to them with a roll of toilet paper, see which has more value.

Its a control mechanism, they use it if Congress doesnt do what its told to do.
So right now the Dems can threaten the Rep’s if they dont do vote the way they are told to vote…

If you read what it says. It says members of Congress and Congressional staff may be removed from their current coverage. In other words. If members of Congress and or their Congressional staff do not toe a certain line, then they will be removed from the Congressional health insurance and they will have to buy their own health insurance, just like the rest of the serfs(voters).

Haste makes waste. An old saying but it is inevitable that the obamacare bill has many flaws. This is a nice one at that. Now, they will have to pay for health care, which of course they will do with a new bill very soon. So, no big deal here. Just watch them help themselves.

“If members of Congress cannot explain how it’s going to work for them and their staff, how will they explain it to the rest of America?” Mr. Chaffetz asked in an interview.
No problem.
The lobbyists who actually wrote the healthcare bills are going to issue an explanatory memorandum shortly.

I wonder: What were the other 51% thinking? here is why. The question is asked: “Is it neccesary for American’s to have affordable healthcare?” Lets try these on for size:
Is it necessary for American’s to have affordable healthy food?
Is it necessary for American’s to have safe transportation?
Is it necessary for Americans’s to have shelter that protects them from the elements?
Is it necessary for American’s to have a job?
Is it necessary for American’s to have diapers for their babies?

This can go on and on…

Ultimately as a liberal says yes to each one, the question must be asked “How can we make this happen?” A conservative will then reply “You can’t. All you can do is give them a clear path to achieve these things on their own.” The liberal says “Thats not good enough”. And there ladies and gentlemen lies the crux of the issue.

So I ask again: What were the other 51% thinking?
