@johnhawkinsrwn yep--should have led with that. Would have been populist and (then) maybe even attainable.
@DrJJoyner @johnhawkinsrwn True. Semantics. But it's more a taxpayer funded premium support than an exemption.

@mattklewis@johnhawkinsrwn but surely shutting down the govt so that it's employees wouldn't be covered is idiotic. -
@DrJJoyner@johnhawkinsrwn If shutdown is a given, it polls much better than shutting down gov't in a failed attempt to defund ObamaCare.

@mattklewis@johnhawkinsrwn it's not semantics. Congress as an employer provides health coverage for its employees. -
@DrJJoyner@johnhawkinsrwn which taxpayers fund. (In any event, not worth arguing over what is prolly a moot point, any way :)
