Nevada GOP Senate candidate Sharron Angle's staunch opposition to federal involvement in health care -- or pretty much everything, for that matter -- was contorted Tuesday with recent news that she and her husband receive government provided health care.

From Tuesday's Politico Morning Score:

    Angle's campaign acknowledged to Nevada journalist Jon Ralston Monday that both the candidate and her husband receive health care from the federal government. Spokeswoman Ciara Matthews said in a statement: "Mr. Ted Angle receives his pension through the (federal) Civil Service Retirement System. While it is not supplemented by the federal government, current civil servants pay into the program to pay the schedule of those already retired - much like how the Social Security Program works today. Mr. Angle does not qualify - nor does he receive Social Security benefits. His health insurance plan (the Federal Employee Health Program), which also covers Sharron, is a continuation of what he was receiving while he worked for the federal government."

Angle's prior aversion to government-run health care -- at least for others -- has been no secret. She openly touts her intent to "Repeal and replace Obamacare" on her website, and even claimed recently that such broad legislation was actually unnecessary because there was "nothing wrong with our health care system."

"Our healthcare system is the best in the world," said Angle of the American system, once rated 37th-best in the world, in August. "Our doctors are the best...The access is not what is being denied."

Despite Angle's contention that access to health care is not an issue, more than 18 percent of Nevada's population is currently uninsured, nearly 3 percent higher than the national rate.

And in 2009, Angle railed against mandated health care coverage even for autism treatment and maternity leave.

"You know what I'm talking about. You're paying for things that you don't even need. They just passed the latest one, is everything that they want to throw at us now is covered under 'autism,'" Angle said, using air quotes for the neurological disorder. "So, that's a mandate that you have to pay for. How about maternity leave? I'm not going to have anymore babies, but I sure get to pay for it on my insurance. Those are the kinds of things that we want to get rid of."

that was the biggest red flag with obamacare - the fact congress was excluded from it.

of course, republicans were too busy minimizing their influence by bitching about christmas tree decorations and michelle's tennis shoes to have any actual power to stop Obamacare.

Yes,because when you have fillabuster proof majorities in the senate and super majorities in the house ,you can stop anything you want.Your posts make no sense.Please explain how the republicans could have stopped it,and give me the list of republicans who voted to pass it.

Hmmm,you didnt answer my question.Give me the republicans in the house and senate that voted for health care then tell me how it was the republicans fault.You throw out stupid accusations,back it up.Please give me the way the republicans could have stopped it.

[BM OUT]

The House voted 219 to 212 to approve the measure, with every Republican voting no. No republican senators voted for it.So,explain again how republicans could have stopped it.Please tell me how complaining about Imam Obama putting a christmas bulb on the tree of Mao had anything to do with the passing of health care.You made the accusation,now back it up.My prediction?You will go on to your next attack on a conservative and then claim you really are a republican.Your exposed everyday as a fraud.Dont you get tired of it?

240,
The Republicans tried to remove this "exclusion" with an amendment (to make so that if Obama care passed, they would not be excluded), but every democrat voted it down.

And Obamacare was passed using reconciliation, to combine the Senate Bill and the House Bil that were both already previously passed prior to Brown being elected.  Brown never got a chance to vote against obamacare.

240 is again giving his kneepads ov ertime shilling for Obama.  Pathetic.

NO!!!It was because republicans were worrying about Christmas trees.Its always amusing when 240 tries to insult conservatives or republicans for complaining about trivial things.He even does it on here with posters,but he then goes into a rant about Palins baby or Palins clothes.I think he is a bit on the loopy side.He worries about the splinter in conservatives eyes but doesnt see the log in his own.

240 NEVER puts blame squarely where it belongs because doing so means admitting he was dead wrong about so much.

your personal attacks on me always come before you even look at what i wrote.

I didn't know the repubs tried to change that - very commendable.  I've been against obamacare all along and I still get attacked for it constantly.

So,you were 100% wrong in your attack on republicans.This bill is 100% a democrat bill ALL the blame goes to Imam Obama and his cronies like Pelosi,right?

You blame the GOP for not stopping this when they never could have from day 1.

I have wrote about this numerous times on here. He uses his fake support of Thune as a way to Bash Palin, and he uses his "I am a Republican, because I voted for Republicans in the past", as a way to presently bash Republicans and cheerleader for Obama, with out being called out.  240 uses the ole communist technique of "attack from within"
