If that is not enough to get you and other ACA bashers (prevaricators) I can continue to list many more links to educate you. There are no death panels, there are no reductions in the type of services Medicare requires etc. And millions, many millions of Americans now have coverage and no longer face bankruptcy should an illness or injury strike their family. |
Well, no...............Sophie11 is not wrong.
Every link you provided has to do with
Congress and
only Congress. For political cover Congressional employees, but
not other government employees, were included in Obamacare. BUT they were also given financial supplements to cover the additional expense that was incurred due to Obamacare.
All other government employees continue to be covered by the Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) Program which is
not affected by Obamacare. Both current and retired government employees are covered by FEHB.
I know, because I am one of them.
And when a retired government employee reaches Medicare age and Medicare becomes primary, the FEHB Program continues as secondary insurance.
I know, because that's where I am.
So, you see Sophie11 was correct.
