California Democrats Reject Being Enrolled In Obamacare

[WestVirginiaRebel]

Breitbart:

On Wednesday in the California State Assembly Rules Committee, Democrats defeated a bill that would have dropped state legislators from their taxpayer-funded premium healthcare plans and prodded them into Covered California, the state Obamacare exchange. The bill, authored by Assemblyman Scott Wilk (R-Santa Clarita), was defeated on a party-line vote–even though it would have reimbursed them for the cost of their new California Health Benefit Exchange plans.

 

All seven of the committee’s Democrats opposed the bill, and all four Republicans supported it.

 

Breitbart News spoke with Assemblyman Wilk, who said, “I have heard from many of my constituents, having problems with Covered California–ranging from enrollment problems to actual difficulties with use of the plan.

 

“It seems to me that if we all, as legislators, were on a Covered California plan, we would have a better perspective and stronger interest in figuring out how to help those having trouble.”

 

“I was disappointed today that my Democratic colleagues rejected this common-sense bill,” he said.

 

After being voted down in committee, AB 1109 is effectively dead for this legislative session.
