Thursday evening, Politico reported
that the Office of Personnel Management — after the unusual personal
involvement of President Obama himself — had decided to issue new
regulations this week to protect members of Congress and their staffs
from seeing their health care premiums skyrocket once ObamaCare takes
effect.
The new rules will protect a relatively small number of politically well-connected individuals, in spite of language in the 2010 health care law that specifically required that Congressmen, Senators and their aides “must be covered by plans ‘created’ by the law or ‘offered through an exchange,’ as Politico detailed.
In spite of the obvious double-standard just months before the law is poised to affect tens of millions of Americans, ABC and NBC have (so far) completely skipped this news, while CBS gave it a grand total of 18 seconds on Friday morning.
