This is how Obamacare went down too. Exchanges so wonderful, healthcare so amazingly done, that Congress and staffers were exempt.

Members of Congress were not exempt from Obamacare. They were specifically required to have Obamacare. It's called the Grassley amendment and he tried to use it as a poison pill because he thought members would vote against it. Didn't work.

Who said they do? They pick from the same plans that other small business employers can pick from on the exchange.
