House @SpeakerBoehner gets 75% of his premiums paid by taxpayers & Mrs. Boehner is on Medicare

"In fact, this is just another lie, perpetuating the madness of Obamacare. Mike Hiltzik from the LA Times reported:

"Boehner's premiums are partially covered by his employer, the federal government, which pays up to 75% of employee premiums, up to a cap of $426.14 a month (for 2014)."

The government pays 72% on average, and up to 75% of the premium. Given the numbers, it is shockingly clear how much the public funds Boehner's healthcare. Also, it should be noted that next year, Mrs. Boehner will be receiving Medicare, which is a program the Republicans have been opposing for years.

It is apparent that it is easy for Boehner to skew the facts and make it seem like his premiums are jumping, but there is a lot more to the story than just stating numbers for shock value. The true inconsistency in the midst of this outrageous claim is that the typical Obamacare customer is someone being removed from a decent employer plan to the individual market."
