Let Congress, #BHO and family and the rest of government receive the exact same healthcare options they are giving to the rest of us chumps

Washington is at a stalemate. The Dems refuse to pass a government funding bill without the crown jewel of #Obamacare included. The Reps will pass spending bills government program by program, but are trying to kill Obamacare. This is politics at its best. It is also the reason that the Congressional Job Approval rating is at an historic low of 14%. The easy answer is to “throw the bums out.” But, this will not happen.
