From your article:

 

The fear: Government-subsidized premiums will disappear at the end of the year under a provision in the health care law that nudges aides and lawmakers onto the government health care exchanges, which could make their benefits exorbitantly expensive

Oh, poor things! Legislators will have to pay the same amount for health AS THE REST OF US. One of the main complaints from the public has been that there is a special, almost free, government health care plan for legislators, that nobody else gets.

 

I am really happy that all of those deadbeat legislators have to pay the same amount that every American has to pay.

Enjoy this feeling, my friend, until our members of Congress decide to vote themselves increased salaries and pension benefits.

I can't say that I feel any pity for the legislators losing one of their freebie perks.
