ACA/Obamacare: Congress is a Small Business? Maybe Not So Much….

“Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship Chairman David Vitter  is questioning why Congress is able to get its health care through the Small Business Health Options Plan (SHOP) — which requires a business to have 50 or less employees — when the tax forms provided list Congress as a large employer.

In a letter written to Internal Revenue Service Commissioner John Koskinen Wednesday, the Louisiana Republican said it appears Congress is “misrepresenting itself to either DC Health Link or the IRS” and questioned whether the contradiction violates the Internal Revenue Code.

While the Affordable Care Act required lawmakers and their staff to buy insurance through state or federal exchanges, the Office of Personnel Management exempted them by qualifying Congress as a small business, allowing them to buy health care using DC Health Link to keep employer subsidies.” - Congress Is Exempt From Obamacare Because It’s Listed As A Small Business, dailycaller.com, 02/10/2016
