Rand Paul Scores

“

Arguing federal workers should not get special treatment, Rand Paul says he does not want taxpayers subsidizing the personal health care plans of any federal employee — including Chief Justice John Roberts — anymore.

With some in Congress arguing lawmakers and their staff should not get subsidies to cover their health insurance as President Obama’s health care law goes into effect, the Republican senator from Kentucky told The Daily Caller on Sunday that he’s going to start pushing a constitutional amendment that goes even further.

Paul’s proposal — outlawing any special exemptions for government employees — would mean all federal workers would have to purchase health insurance on the new Obamacare exchanges instead of getting taxpayer-funded subsidies. Some critics say those subsidies amount to special treatment. The Obamacare health insurance exchange opens Oct 1. [Full]

Rand Paul is scoring—a lot. It will be fun to see what weasel arguments our protected class make, because this time I think even Lo-Fos will be paying attention.

TheOldMan said...: If the GOP had a clue it would do two things re: Obamacare:

1. Insist that the law as passed be strictly enforced on schedule. This means no special exemptions and no delay of the employer mandate. They should force legislation to this effect and dare the commie imbeciles to vote against it.

2. Keep pushing alternative ideas that address the already expected failures of Obamacare.; 9/23/13, 1:02 PM

It's only fair and I'd find satisfaction in knowing a few of the members of Congress died because of appendicitis, or an abscessed tooth.

Forget the Hippocratic Oath when it comes to political leeches. They've killed too many due to their actions and it's payback time.; 9/23/13, 1:50 PM

Fat chance of that. Those are the people that have the insurance that will pay. Many doctors are already refusing Medicare patients and it won't be long before they refuse those who get insurance through the exchanges.

Rand Paul is still on my shitlist for his position on Undocumented Democrats.; 9/23/13, 3:54 PM
Steve in Greensboro said...: There were 14 Republican traitors who voted for the Senate Amnesty bill. Three are up for re-election next year -- Graham (SC), Alexander (TN) and Collins(MN). The first two, at least have to go.

Rand Paul was NOT one of the 14 Republican amnesty traitors.; 9/24/13, 3:42 AM
iri said...: No he wasn't one of them, so? He offered some changes to it that didn't fly and he voted against it. It was a good political move considering the hatred his "base" shares with most of the country for uncontrolled borders. But he still wants here thus he's on my shitlist. Big business money talks and Rand Paul listens.

I want the borders locked down and everyone skipping across our Southern border forced to leave. He'd like to make it possible for them to stay. In too many ways he's a nut off the Ron Paul tree. How could he be otherwise? The Tea Party girls like him though.; 9/24/13, 6:49 AM
