Conservatives Target Health Care Exemption for Hill Staff

How eager are conservative groups to make hay out of this Politico story, which reports on a loophole in the health care bill that allows “staffers who work for congressional committees or for party leaders in the House and Senate” to opt out of state-run insurance exchanges? The conservative Independent Women’s Forum is already planning to launch a campaign site against the provision, SomeAreMoreEqual.com, this afternoon. And I wouldn’t be surprised to soon see a back-bencher Republican go after the exemption.
