A multimillionaire member of Congress is seeking an exemption or waiver from Obamacare for citizens of his upscale district — known for its pricy ski resorts — because he thinks they’re being forced to pay too much for health insurance.
In a letter to Colorado Insurance Commissioner Marguerite Salazar, Rep. Jared Polis, D-Colo., complains that the pricing for health coverage for residents of Summit County will be a minimum of $427.80 a month, while the same coverage in Boulder is $339.18 and in Denver $296.41.
“These high rates make it much more likely that Coloradans living in these areas will choose to forgo coverage entirely, choosing to pay the federal penalty rather than purchase health insurance,” the congressman, whose worth is estimated by Roll Call at about $66 million, said.
He bought into it. Demanded that everyone in the state be part of it except him and his. What an asshole!

Maybe libiot assclowns in CO will invade Summit County and...

It all becomes less tolerable every day. Rather than look at the damaging effect of this travesty on his district and conclude that this will be happening all over the country, and thus the law is bad law, he just asks the king for an exemption.
I'm familiar with the phrase "equal treatment under the law", and it seems to me that this law is the opposite. I don't know if that is legally actionable or not. But dammit.

Maybe a (sticky) thread detailing Owebama's Intolerable Acts?
We already have Legislation Without Representation.

Almost every thread here chronicles Obongo's Intolerable Acts.

This ass used to be my rep. He told Michelle that she should "trust" the govt at a townhall. Why, fukhead? So you can audit me with the IRS and spy on me with the NSA?

Better analogy: Begging the pope for an indulgence.

will be a minimum of $427.80 a month
If residents of one of the richest counties in the nation should only pay for half the healthcare they consume, on average, just who is going to pick up the full $8,000 per year tab?
