Judicial Watch: D.C. Government Concedes Law Does Not Allow for Congress to Obtain Obamacare in 'Small Business Exchange'
District Government Says Its Law Has Been Overridden By Office of Personnel Management
Contact: Jill Farrell, Judicial Watch, 202-646-5188
WASHINGTON, Jan. 7, 2015 /Standard Newswire/ -- Judicial Watch today announced that the District of Columbia government conceded in a court filing that, under D.C. law, the U.S. Congress could not obtain insurance through the District's "Small Business Exchange." The revelation comes in a taxpayer lawsuit filed by Judicial Watch against the District of Columbia Health Exchange Authority regarding its decision to allow Congress to participate in the Authority's Obamacare Small Business Exchange.
The lawsuit, which names the District of Colombia Health Benefit Exchange Authority and its officials as defendants, was filed on October 15, 2014, on behalf of D.C. taxpayer Kirby Vining in the Superior Court of the District of Columbia (Kirby Vining v. Executive Board of the District of Columbia Health Benefit Exchange Authority (No. 14-0006496)). D.C. law limits participation in the exchange to small businesses employing 50 or fewer full-time employees. Vining, a District of Columbia resident since 1986, seeks to prevent the Exchange Authority from allowing at least 12,359 members of Congress, congressional staffers, their spouses and dependents to purchase health insurance in D.C.'s Small Business Exchange.
