Obamacare: a hierarchy of privilege

Mark Steyn on Obamacare:

It’s a very strange law whose only defining characteristic is that no one who favors it wants to be bound by it.

Obamacare is not a law, in the sense that all persons are equal before it, but a hierarchy of privilege; for example, senators value their emir-sized entourages and don’t want them to quit, so it is necessary to provide the flunkies who negotiated and drafted the Affordable Care Act an exemption from the legislation they imposed on the citizenry.
