So tired of the same ridiculous arguments. A government employee has employer provided healthcare. So do I. So do over 80% of Americans. So to repeal their healthcare is NOT the same as repealing the ridiculous monstrosity passed last year. To repeal their healthcare would be akin to repealing all employer provided health care - you know, odummy's plan.

nothing wrong with having it provided by the employer but they should pay 4 it if theyre so against it 4 every1 else

The national average is closer to about 30% of the bill being paid by the employee. BTW, they are not against anyone getting medical insurance through their employer - just like they do. But why should you get my plan if you are working somewhere else? This is part of my overall compensation package --- and theirs. It's not something they are getting for nothing like what entitlement programs do.

their employer is the fed govt which means we all pay 4 theirs
i wonder what % they pay?
my guess is a lot less than the 30%

It's still part of their overall package. Their salaries are quite modest. The government, their employer, paid between 72 and 75% of their coverage in 2009. So they pay the same share as people in the private sector.

actually the govt sector gets paid a bit more than their counterparts in the private sector. ilhaiti was here bitching about that a while back

I double checked and you are right - they earn around $175,000 a year. I guess i was thinking about their higher pay often earn when they are done.

they should put their money where their big mouths are. i would at least give them slack 4 it if they paid a BIGGER part of their premiums

There's only one problem with your little bullshit post. The Democratic 111th Congress voted to exempt Members of Congress from the law about 16 months ago. the vote was almost 100% along party lines. I watched the vote on C-SPAN. When Paul referred to the hipocrisy of the Congress, he was referring to the Obama 111th Congress. Nearly all Republicans in the 111th voted against the exemption.

Now go back and finish licking Breakingnews' balls.
