The law includes a section that requires members of Congress and their staff to purchase health insurance on the marketplaces that the law set up. Hagan will give up an employer contribution because she has decided to get her insurance on the North Carolina marketplace, not the D.C. one.
Hagan’s staff says it wasn’t a new decision, just one that hadn’t been flagged previously.
“As an elected official representing North Carolina, it’s important that I have the same health care experience and plan options as North Carolinians, which is why I am signing up for health care through the North Carolina exchange,” Hagan said by email on Monday.

I’m not sure if she’ll be able to afford the premiums in 2015 when she’ll be unemployed.

Her husband is an attorney and Democrat activist. Their finances will be fine whether or not she stays in office.
This is purely a political move, but she can afford it.
My feelings are or the poor suckers she has screwed by voting for Obamacare.
Hope her constituents are bright enough to see through this move, She got the idea from Landreau.
To me, this act of political theatre should backfire. She gets to “freely” select Obamacare. We peasants are “forced” to get Obamacare. Her act to “be one of us” underscores her failure to help the common citizen by repealing Obamacare. A pox on her.
Losing a 17 point lead in six weeks can make Democrats do odd things.

I just love a show-boatin politician.
Losing her employer subsidy? Hell she wil lose her employer next year.
Anyone who votes dem next 2 election cycles is either a fool or IDIOT.
DESPERATION!!!! How about her staff? Are they going onto 0BamaKare too??? ***no freakin way
That’s what I thought last year.
Is anybody buying these pathetic stunts, first by Landrieu and now Hagen?
By eschewing their special privileges they are just highlighting that they exist, and also that ordinary people (which they are now going to pretend to be) have it worse than they would under Ocare.
It’s pathetic.
This is like Kay getting a cancer diagnosis that she’ll be dead within a year (2014). Her only hope is to take heavy chemo (Obamacare) which will make her extremely sick now, maybe even kill her off before the cancer.
But if she survives the chemo, she can buy another six years.
Senator Hagan,
Did you vote for Obamacare?
Did you read the bill before you voted for it?
Did you read the bill after it was voted on?
Did you think that you would not be held accountable?
Have you read the law at all?
Kay Hagan, Dem. Cobra.
I like how her name is made up of two names from the Godfather.
A smarter way for her to play this would be to the highly educated act and simply say “where else would a Carolinian buy their health Insurance?
It’s sad to see this ultraliberal filling the old Helms seat.
Well, I say America is full of fools and idiots, and they are not emigrating.
