      @speechboy71 I think Senator Grassley asked for an amend to apply Obamacare to Congress - Dem comm staff obliged & then exempted themselves

      @johnculberson Also here is the OPM rule that clarifies which staff must buy insurance through the exchanges: http://www.ofr.gov/OFRUpload/OFRData/2013-19222_PI.pdf …

      @speechboy71 thank you! Well done! Note the statute refers to staff in personal office - that definition excludes comm staff who are exempt

      @johnculberson Which would mean your claim that Dem staff excluded themselves from Obamacare is false.

      @speechboy71 Democrat committee staff who wrote the bill in secret exempted themselves, so all comm staff, D & R, are exempt

      @johnculberson Also, language in question only deals w/cmte staff. Yet earlier you said bill exempts Obama & Biden. That was incorrect

      @speechboy71 how is it untrue? Dem comm staff wrote the exemption, and exempted all comm staff, obviously including themselves and Rs

      @johnculberson You said that bill writers exempted Pelosi/Reid staff, which you now acknowledge is not correct.

      @speechboy71 check my most recent message to you / the section applying Obamacare to "Congress & personal staff" which excludes comm staff

          @johnculberson But as I showed you the language in question was written by Senator Coburn - do you have evidence that Dems wrote it?

          @speechboy71 Grassley or Coburn is irrelevant - the final language on any conference report is always written by the majority comm staff

          @johnculberson Even if you're right the language a) was written by a Republican and b) only excludes cmte staff because of imprecision

          @speechboy71 I said committee staff is exempt - it was written in secret by Pelosi/Reid comm staff and therefore exempts comm staff
