If ObamaCare is so good...

The 6 year liberal experiment is a failure.

The middle class is losing ground.  Yet, government is growing bigger and bigger and taking up more and more space in our lives.

Here's a question: why don't liberals embrace and apply liberal solutions to their families and wallets?

Liberals: start enrolling in Obamacare.

Every government employee and union member: give up your Cadillac health plans and join Obamacare.

Why haven't you done so already?  What are you: a bunch of bigots?    PB

From the New York Post online:

Imagine how long ObamaCare would last if the folks who wrote and approved the law were forced to live by its rules.

Sen. David Vitter has been waging this crusade for more than a year now.

He wants to require the House and Senate and all their staff to buy their health insurance from the same government exchanges they have inflicted on millions of Americans.

For a long while, it seemed the Louisiana Republican was the only one on Capitol Hill who understood this simple notion:  

If ObamaCare is so good, why don’t the people who wrote the law want it themselves?

This week Vitter’s lonely campaign finally saw some significant daylight: The Senate GOP conference passed his resolution. Now the conference is challenging the Democrats to do likewise.

Not surprisingly, Vitter’s push has never been popular on Capitol Hill, even in his own party.

Many Hill Republicans wonder why they should have to live under a law they fought against — and that could inflict significant hardship on some staff families.

Some fear mass resignations.

But Vitter’s answer is clear: “Washington should have to live under ObamaCare just like everybody else, until we repeal it.”

In short, Sen. Vitter and the Senate Republicans are putting pressure on Democrats to live by what they claim is a great deal for every other citizen.

At the same time, by this resolution they are saying to the citizens of this nation: “We’ll share your pain until we fix this thing.”

We can’t think of a better message to send — or a better example to set — as Republicans prepare to take control of both the House and Senate.
