Turns out that fantastically lengthy,Windows 7 sale, mind-bogglingly complex costs which nobody has essentially go through may formulate unintended effects. Try to remember how they forgot to require insurers to cover kids with preexisting problems? Oh,Office 2007 Enterprise, plus they forgot at first to let youthful adults be covered by their parents’ insurance until Reid fixed it in reconciliation. Now this. Who knew that when Pelosi said they’d have to pass the bill so that people could find out what’s in it, “people” meant Congress?
I’d call it comedy gold if not for that obvious point raised by the Times: “If they did not know exactly what they were doing to themselves, did lawmakers who wrote and passed the bill fully grasp the details of how it would influence the lives of other Americans?”
The law apparently bars members of Congress from the federal employees wellness program, on the assumption that lawmakers should join many of their constituents in getting protection through new state-based markets known as insurance exchanges.
But the research service found that this provision was written in an imprecise, confusing way, so it is not clear when it takes effect.
The new exchanges do not have to be in operation until 2014. But because of a possible “drafting error,Office Professional 2010 Key,” the report says,Windows 7 64 Bit, Congress did not specify an effective date for the section excluding lawmakers from the existing program.
Under well-established canons of statutory interpretation, the report said,Microsoft Office Pro Plus, “a law takes effect on the date of its enactment” unless Congress clearly specifies otherwise. And Congress did not specify any other effective date for this part of the health and wellbeing care law. The law was enacted when President Obama signed it three weeks ago.
In other words, theoretically the law kicks them out of the federal health and wellbeing plan now in order to force them to join insurance exchanges … that don’t exist yet. Looking forward to tomorrow, when we’re inevitably told that they meant to do that. Exit question for lawyers: Who would have standing to sue to force the federal wellbeing plan to drop Congress now? Any citizen, or is it more refined than that?
