I don’t know why people think Congress are exempt from Obamacare. It was a big deal when the amendment to force them into it was passed.

How Trump can win the ObamaCare fight: End the "friends and cronies" exemption for Congress.

~ John Fund July 28, 2017

"With a mere stroke of his pen, President Trump could end the exemption that President Obama gave members of Congress and their staffs that makes them the only participants in the ObamaCare exchanges to receive generous subsidies from their employer (the American people) to pay for their health insurance. Nothing would better focus Congress’ attention on changing ObamaCare than being trapped in it just like other Americans."

The subsidies are almost 75% paid by the taxpayers. They aren't really in Obamacare if they don't have to endure the skyhigh deductibles and obscene premiums. Let them pay the same way the American citizens do - out of their own pockets.
