President Trump Needs To End Congress's Illegal Obamacare Exemption
by Phil Kerpen, Contributing Author: Last night Senate Republicans pulled the plug on their latest Obamacare repeal effort — leaving families on the hook for skyrocketing premiums while insurance options are dwindling.
Enough is enough.
We know what President Trump needs to do to force Congress to get its act together.
Obamacare included language demanded by the American people that requires Congress and their staff to lose their employer coverage and buy their own Obamacare plans.
But it never happened.
Congress begged Obama to exempt lawmakers and their staff and he did, issuing an OPM rule to force taxpayers to continue paying premiums for Congress.
The key to the scheme? Fraud.
Congress filed false documents claiming the House and Senate are both “small businesses” with less than 50 employees each. Then they signed up thousands of members and staffers -- at taxpayr expense. (Judicial Watch: D.C. Government Concedes Law Does Not Allow for Congress to Obtain Obamacare in “Small Business Exchange”)
It’s no wonder Congress hasn’t repealed Obamacare yet — they don’t have to deal with soaring insurance costs like the rest of us. President Trump has the power to change that.
It's the strongest card President Trump has, and he needs to play it now.
If Members of Congress and their staff have to suffer under the Obamacare law they passed, maybe they will feel the urgency to repeal this terrible law.
Please sign your letter to President Trump and forward this article to your friends. We need to flood the White House with enough messages to bring this option to his personal attention.
