Scott Brown: Obamacare beneficiary

[Ogre Mage]

This is a much bigger issue than the silly furor over Warren and Native Americans. I mean, wasn't Scott Brown elected on part because he said he'd be a vote against Obamacare? That would be like my state's own Orrin Hatch getting elected (and re-elected for six terms) on the idea that the other guy has been in Washington too long. Oh wait...

How is this any different than Obama paying the 35% tax rate instead of voluntarily applying the 39.6% rate (and the "Buffett rule") to himself?  Even if this story were true (pretty sure the congressional health care plan offered extended coverage to children beforehand), it doesn't imply actual dishonesty the way Warren acted.

So it is fine for Scott Brown's adult daughter to have her health insurance covered on the government dime, but not for most Americans?  And you see no hypocrisy in this?

I don't see hypocrisy. Brown in theory has voted to take away his daughter's insurance as well as that of other Americans. But as long as it's the law, she can take part in it. (Also, she's not him and isn't responsible for his politics, even though it's not like she hasn't benefited from the association.)

Well, you could say that but railing against a law while at the same time choosing to participate in its programs for personal benefit looks two-faced.  As Dr. Scholl pointed out, it was Brown's choice to have his daughter covered on his insurance.  I am not blaming Ayla for her father's actions.  The hypocrisy is his, not hers.
