Wednesday, Aug 07, 2013 03:00 PM PDT
 FILE - In his May 9, 2013 file photo, Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa speaks on Capitol Hill in Washington. The Obama administration has tossed back in the lap of Congress a prickly political question involving health insurance for staffers and lawmakers themselves.

The rules do clarify that the government will continue to pay its standard share of premiums, resolving one of the biggest unknowns about the health law provision, which was authored by Grassley. (AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite, File)WASHINGTON (AP) — It started out a political "gotcha" — an amendment to President Barack Obama's health care law requiring members of Congress and staffers to get the same coverage offered to uninsured Americans.
