Reid knows Obamacare stinks so he let his people pass on it.

I pay taxes, and I'm not forced to buy on the exchange. Any taxpayer has the ability to get insurance from their job, or directly from the insurance company. Not one person or employer is FORCED to purchase insurance through the exchange.

Yeah ok, you keep on believing that. 100 million employer covered people are about to be dropped. Anyway, WE are the employer and if WE don't want to provide them coverage WE don't have to. It's not up to Harry Reid or Obama or the unions. NONE of them are the employers.

Some Reid staffers exempt from Obamacare - CNN.com

When has a liberal ever NOT BEEN HYPOCRITICAL?

Even Marx was not opposed to a system of monarchy at all. Marx believed, as most liberals do today, that there would always be an "enlightened ruling class" which would preside over the masses and be exempt from the rules of the proliteriat.

Socialism/marxism has, at its core, tyranny toward the individual, and thus defies human nature. It is shocking and ironic that modern liberals would turn their back on the most far reaching, altruistic, and enlightened document in the history of man- THE CONSTITUTION- and embrace a system which sacrifices individual liberty. It is the biggest con of the last century.

Stop for one minute and think about this. Our government, your government created Obamacare and told everyone they could get great coverage and an affordable rate.. That costs would go down etc etc.

Now, if Obamacare meets all this why in the world would anyone not want to move their staff to Obamacare? What's worse none of our friends in government would be on this wonderful plan unless mandates put into the law forced them to.

You don't see anything wrong with this?

It seems that Harry believes those working for him have a better option than Obamacare. Just as many hundreds of thousands believe they had a better option but the government forced the insurance companies to cancel those policies.

So perhaps the correct view is that we need to simply cancel these other options.

Stop and look at the insurance market. My employer plan costs less than a comparable exchange plan (that is including both employer and my costs). Why? Because they are a very large company and negotiate directly with the insurance company. The federal government is also a very large employer, if they can get lower costs by directly negotiation then why would they pay more on the exchange?
