codeorama Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 First, If this should not be a separate topic, my apologies, mods please feel free to merge it where it should be. Next, I'm not big into petitions and so on, but I think this one is pretty good. This issue is not GOP or DEM. I just feel that the people making the laws and policies that effect all of us should have to deal with the consequences in the same way. http://time.com/4704824/petition-remove-congress-health-care-subsidies/ The link is to an article at Time . com that shows the link to a petition that is growing. Feel free to take a look and sign if interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renegade7 Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 I can get behind this. It's just insane how insulated these decision makers are from the decisions that they make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redskinss Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 I think everybody in the country would support this if they thought it was actually possible. The problem is i dont think it is. If the petition is formed and gets a lot of support do they have to act on it? I personally think it'd just get ignored. The ones that have the power aren't going to make rules against themselves unfortunately. Probably the same reason the owner of the company isn't subject to drug tests like employees are.

bearrock Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Would it be feasible give everyone access to Federal Employee Health Benefit? I know lot of people who divorce federal employees who choose to stay on FEHB even having to pay both employer and employee portion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
