@speechboy71 thank you! Well done! Note the statute refers to staff in personal office - that definition excludes comm staff who are exempt
@speechboy71 I said committee staff is exempt - it was written in secret by Pelosi/Reid comm staff and therefore exempts comm staff

@johnculberson I've now sent the link 3 times - the language excluding staff was offered by Senator Coburn: http://www.factcheck.org/2010/04/more-malarkey-about-health-care/ …Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@johnculberson Also Pelosi and Reid don't serve on committee so I don't understand which committee staff you're referring to -
@speechboy71 the conference comm staff that wrote the final conference report - that staff is hired by the majority which was Pelosi & Reid

@johnculberson@speechboy71 Congressman, I'd say you owe on that wager. No reputable GOP health policy expert would agree with your tweet. -
@haroldpollack all committee staff are exempt from Obamacare and since it was written by Democrat comm staffers they exempted themselves -
@johnculberson Bringing Sens+Reps+staffs into exchanges was symbolic gesture supported by many conservatives. Where to draw boundaries (1/2) -
@johnculberson If ACA weren't politically radioactive, this could be easily tweaked.But I still apologize for my hostile tone of last tweet -
@haroldpollack no worries - thank you
