So really I guess the GOP bill then is just taking away this extra little benefit that congressmen and congressional staffers are getting.
The bigger issue that I see though is that the employer mandate is delayed and the individual mandate isn't. The law was passed with the timelines by a Democrat controlled congress, Democrat controlled Senate, and Democratic president, so why delay a portion of the bill for employers only now when it's the very same bill he signed in the first place? |
The bigger issue is why delaying the employer/individual mandate is worth the potential of catastrophe that the shutdown has?
The answer? It's a red herring. You and I can both see that had nothing to do with this...
