    So does Congress want an Obamacare waiver?

    Looks like some of them do.

But we smooth out difficulties; we relieve stress; we correct mistakes; we take up other men's burdens and by our efforts we make possible the peaceful life of men in a peaceful state.”

    They already treat themselves better than the common folk employees. I'm sure they'll find a way to make their healthcare better too.

    Some have the right attitude. Richard Burr, one of North Carolina's senators: “I have no problems with Congress being under the same guidelines,” Burr said. “I think if this is going to be a disaster — which I think it’s going to be — we ought to enjoy it together with our constituents.”

    Just like the few (such as Matheson) who try to stop the yearly pay raise.

    Sadly they're few and far between

    Because the IRS will be in charge of enforcing Obamacare, this is something to worry about:
