Sen. Scott Brown (R-MA) ran as the 41st vote against President Obama’s health care reform bill in a special election to replace the late Sen. Ted Kennedy and voted three times to repeal the law and take way health care coverage from the 30 million Americans who will benefit from the law by 2014 and the millions who are already taking advantage of its provisions.

But yesterday, this Tea Party champion and great opponent of Obamacare admitted something astonishing: his 23 year old daughter is one of the 2.5 million young Americans who are benefiting from a regulation that allows young people to stay on their parents’ health care plan until age 26:

“Of course I do,’’ the Massachusetts Republican told the Globe. Brown is insuring his daughter Ayla, a professional singer who is 23 years old, under a widely popular provision of the law requiring that family plans cover children up to age 26.

1. Maybe Scott Brown thinks we should have Medicare For All?

If not, then he's an idiot.

2. That is not hypocritical

I don't agree with Brown but this isn't hypocrisy, no more than Obama not unilatterally paying higher taxes under the "Buffet rule."

Operating under existing policy while favoring a change in that policy is not hypocrisy.

3. I suppose he's not a fucking right wing idiot either

I call bullshit. If he thinks Obamacare is toxic, harmful, etc., then he shouldn't be using it.

Period.

He's a First Class Hypocrite.
