Protection from Obamacare Mandates and Congressional Equity Act

What this bill does

  • This bill exempts people from the requirement to have health insurance if they live in counties with fewer than two insurance options.
  • Congress members, their staff, and executive branch political appointees are required to buy insurance through public exchanges instead of federal employee programs.
  • The federal government cannot subsidize health insurance costs for these officials and employees under the new requirements.

  2. 02

    What financial impact would moving Congressional staff from federal employee programs to public exchanges have on their take-home pay and recruitment?

  3. 03

    Does eliminating federal subsidies for political appointees' insurance create fairness compared to other federal employees, or does it treat them differently?
