posted at nine:47 pm on April twelve, 2010 by Allahpundit printer-friendly NYT: ObamaCare might have accidentally stripped Congress of well being protection The perfect ending to each day that saw assist for repealing O-Care get to a whole new big in Rasmussen (58 %) and help for that One reach a new weekly lower in Gallup (47 percent). Turns out that fantastically very long, mind-bogglingly complex payments which nobody has in reality read could possibly set up unintended penalties. Keep in mind how they forgot to call for insurers to cover children with preexisting circumstances? Oh,

I’d call it comedy gold if not for your obvious point raised by the Times: “If they did not know exactly what they were doing to themselves, did lawmakers who wrote and passed the bill fully grasp the details of how it would influence the lives of other Americans?”
The law apparently bars members of Congress from the federal employees health and fitness program, on the assumption that lawmakers should join many of their constituents in getting coverage through new state-based markets known as insurance exchanges.
But the research service found that this provision was written in an imprecise, confusing way,

The new exchanges do not have to be in operation until 2014. But because of a possible “drafting error,

Under well-established canons of statutory interpretation,

And Congress did not specify any other effective date for this part of the overall health treatment law. The law was enacted when President Obama signed it three weeks ago.
In other words, theoretically the law kicks them out of the federal health plan now in order to force them to join insurance exchanges … that don’t exist yet. Looking forward to tomorrow, when we’re inevitably told that they meant to do that. Exit question for lawyers: Who would have standing to sue to force the federal wellness plan to drop Congress now? Any citizen, or is it more refined than that?
