If Obamacare Is So Wonderful, Why Is Congress Exempting Itself?

Why does Congress not want to live by the laws they force on us?

We've been told for years by Washington that Obamacare is the best thing since sliced bread.  It will heal the lame, make the blind see, and lower ocean levels.  Or something.  They've been telling us we will just love it when it is fully implemented.  Clearly Americans aren't buying it.

So if Obamacare is so wonderful, if it will provide such better care and lower costs, why is Congress trying to exempt itself?  They're the ones telling us that it is so awesome, why don't they want to live under the same rules?  Are you as tired as I am that Washington doesn't want to live under the same rules they are forcing on us?  Do you think Congress and the White House would act differently if they were forced to live the way they tell us to?

It's no wonder that trust and confidence in Washington is lower now than during Watergate.  Call your Congressman and Senator and tell them they need to live under the same laws they tell us to live by.
