So, true? Not True? But in the ACA wild ride that will be till the 2014 inception of this miserable fuck up, there will be items that will be bases in half-truths, and then...oh the details. But the details we don't know about. And we won't. Not until the deed is done and people like this get their "special deals".

All manner of special deals have been done for the ACA, and now the nuts and bolts will have to be exposed. So why don't the people that say this is not true give us the EXACT details? They just give us the bigger picture. Then when it's a done deal...Oh. whatever.

But will they be exempt from the 'cadillac plan' tax? leftstreet Aug 2013 #28

good question. This Congress is immensely corrupt on both sides. I would not put it past them liberal_at_heart Aug 2013 #35

If THEIR employer can fund spendy plans, then it's an exemption leftstreet Aug 2013 #37

So, should all other federal employees not be allowed to have their employer cali Aug 2013 #40

I thought that wasn't the issue leftstreet Aug 2013 #42

they are not. read the op. cali Aug 2013 #44

So an individual Congress plan can't exceed $10,200? leftstreet Aug 2013 #45

how many Post Office workers do you think will be getting the Cadillac plan? How many members liberal_at_heart Aug 2013 #43

Under the FEHB, the most commonly used plan is Blue Cross/Blue Shield FEP PPO NutmegYankee Aug 2013 #47

The dark cabinet that is the ACA... Safetykitten Aug 2013 #30

Agreed, and one is hard pressed to find a harsher critic than me of this convoluted mess TheKentuckian Aug 2013 #31

I'm where you are on the ACA- it's a convoluted mess is a good way to sum it up cali Aug 2013 #33

I'm not sure I agree that their compensation packages are fair and reasonable. liberal_at_heart Aug 2013 #36

the majority of the thousands of staffers are not millionaires cali Aug 2013 #38

and I'm not accussing the staffers of being corrupt. It is Congress members that are corrupt and liberal_at_heart Aug 2013 #39

well, I wouldn't disagree with you on that cali Aug 2013 #41

I think it fair for an employee to not get a crappier deal than they signed up for TheKentuckian Aug 2013 #46
