This is what happens when you let this guy actually do stuff.
Last week, the Office of Personnel Management (sort of the HR department for the federal government)
released its fix for the glitch in which congressional staff were in danger of losing their the employer contribution part of their health insurance. That would have meant that some staff couldn't afford to be insured at all. Under the fix, staffers will still purchase health insurance on the exchange, and will keep the employer subsidy (but not get the tax credit, or Obamacare subsidy).
Immediately, the Right screeched that Congress made itself exempt. FreedomWorks pretends like staff keeping their subsidies is an entirely new thing and that this is congress exempting itself from the law. Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) called it an "outrageous exemption for Congress."
As Jonathon Cohn points out, yes congressional employees are treated differently under the law. But it's because Congress adopted an amendment from Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley to make it so. Grassley thought he was being cute and putting Democrats in a bind when he suggested that Congress be put into the exchanges. Democrats thought, why the hell not, but in accepting the Grassley amendment, didn't get all the kinks worked out because Congress was the only large employer that already provided benefits being forced onto the exchange.
Making sure employees retained their employer contribution would have been an easy legislative fix, but Republicans aren't going to allow any fix to Obamacare, even one that benefits their staff. So OPM made the decision, giving the GOP yet another opportunity to screech about the law. But this time, they're screeching about their own provision. It gets more surreal every day.
