The plans they buy through the ACA exchanges per the law are available to every ameriacan in the same jurisdiction. I don’t know if congress people buy through there home state exchange, or the DC exchange.
House and Senate leaders spent countless hours debating healthcare on the company dime with hardly anything to show for it. But members of Congress have no personal need to fix the system with the congressional perks they receive regarding healthcare. No, healthcare isn’t free, but they do receive federal subsidies covering 72% of the cost of the premiums in an Obamacare gold-level plan. Fact-checking website Snopes says members “pay approximately 28% of their annual healthcare premiums through pre-tax payroll deductions.”
In addition, they receive low-cost care through the Office of the Attending Physician and free outpatient care at military facilities in and around Washington D.C.
Not even Pelosi is claiming that her benefits are the same as yours. That should tell you something.

Indeed. It is an employer-employee set-up for them. Just like every other working American who purchases their insurance through their workplace. Including those that purchase them on the ACA exchanges. I’m sorry this is something you did not know.
I’m only asking that what ever plan they force on us, they accept for themselves 100 percent word for word. Anything less means you get screwed. JUST SAY IT OUT LOUD FOR ALL TO HEAR. Fair enough?
Then maybe congress should say out loud that they are accepting for themselves the exact same plan word for word that they are trying to force on us? Should they say it? Do you think this would be helpful to “certain people?”
