You need to understand the problem and the solution before you post. The issue is that congress and their staff were going to lose the 75% contribution toward their premium they receive from the federal government. The fix is to continue the contribution similar to the contribution you make towards your employees coverage. You and your kind are making an issue out of nothing.

"LOS ANGELES (MarketWatch) -- The White House has approved a deal that will create a regulatory fix for members of Congress and their staff related to some of the provisions of the Affordable Care Act, according to media reports. Under the law, popularly referred to as Obamacare, lawmakers and their aides were required to source health insurance "created" by the law or offered through one of its exchanges; and without the subsidies they currently have, the members of Congress would have faced thousands of dollars in additional premium payments each year, the reports said. However, the Office of Personnel Management now plans to rule that the government can continue to make a contribution to the health-care premiums of the lawmakers and their staff, according to unnamed congressional sources and a White House official."
