(13,992 posts)These "subsidies" are the health care benefit that federal employees receive as part of their pay. It's nothing more and nothing less than almost any other worker receives when they have an employer who pays a portion of their health insurance premium.
My employer pays 60% of my premium and I pay the other 40%. It's not a fucking subsidy. It's part of my total fucking compensation.
What Republicans want to do is to ass-fuck a lot of people who don't deserve it by essentially cutting their pay -- it's what Scott Walker did to teachers in Wisconsin with regard to their retirement plan. Now these conservative fuck-sticks want to screw the members of their staff (could this sentence be more phallic?) by forcing them to pay 100% of their health insurance costs.
