@StevenJDuffield @JohnJHarwood @ByronYork trivia! Grassley contemplated members/aides carrying over employer contribs as originally drafted.
@brianbeutler Serious question: Are any other Americans allowed to apply employer subsidy to coverage purchased on exchanges?
-
-
@ByronYork Nope. But Congress only forced one employer to dump its employees onto the exchange -- Congress itself. 1/2 -
@brianbeutler So Congress is much like business deciding to save money on benefits since employees can buy coverage on exchanges... -
@ByronYork so now my question….? -
@brianbeutler And individual lawmakers could give raises to staff who aren't at upper pay limit... -
@ByronYork if aides are kept whole, I don't care where they get their health care. But that's not where we are. Your idea isn't on offer. -
@brianbeutler Maybe I'm wrong, but I think individual lawmakers could pay aides more, except ones at top, who wouldn't get subsidies anyway. - 1 more reply
