Why Republicans Exempted Their Own Insurance From Obamacare Rollback
The unusual nature of staff and member health benefits

Senate budget rules are giving opponents of the rollback of the 2010 health care law an easy way to attack Republicans for hypocrisy.

The Senate GOP may not really want to immunize their own member and staff health plans from their health care policy changes, but because they are seeking to bring their bill to the floor under the expedited budget reconciliation process, they have little choice.

Sen. Ted Cruz has already unveiled a fix to nullify the exemption, but that bill would take 60 votes to overcome any filibuster attempts.

Why should they care about truly rolling back Obamacare when it will never effect them or what they have?

Ted needs to force a floor vote to see where the hyprocrites are.
