Because the private sector workers are also getting cut, so they can't afford the taxes to pay for the healthcare for the government workers that they (the private sector workers) haven't got themselves.

Yes, it's a race to the bottom that ultimately hurts everyone, but wasn't this implicit in the original bill?

Nor did the IRS regs just issued make things any better. A lot of people aren't going to get healthcare from employers, and they aren't going to be qualified for the subsidy from the exchanges either.

I think we may have something of a crisis on our hands.
