Harry Reid Allows Staff to Exempt Themselves from Obamacare
4th December 2013
In September, Democratic Senate Majority Leader Reid told reporters, “Let’s stop these really juvenile political games — the one dealing with health care for Senators and House members and our staff. We are going to be part of exchanges, that’s what the law says and we’ll be part of that.”
According to Reid spokesman Adam Jentleson, under the Affordable Care Act a Senator can allow that their committee and leadership staffers keep their attractive federal employee insurance plans. Reid has exercised that option. Jentleson said, “We are just following the law.”
The Crust takes care of its own.
