Three House Republicans have proposed legislation that would end federal subsidies to members of Congress who are now forced to buy health insurance under ObamaCare.
Rep. Tom Reed (R-N.Y.) proposed the No Special Treatment for Members of Congress Act, H.R. 3853, along with Reps. Marlin Stutzman (R-Ind.) and Steve Southerland (R-Fla.).
The bill is a response to what many Republicans say is an “exemption” under ObamaCare for members. Thanks to a Republican amendment to the 2010 law, ObamaCare requires members and their staffs to buy insurance under a new health insurance exchange — last year, the Obama administration ruled that it must be bought on the Washington DC exchange.
