In response to "Me confused. I didn't think obamacare was valid for members of congress. -- nm" by Truman

When they passed the law, the Republicans added a "poison pill" that said Congress/their staff had to take Obamacare, too.

It backfired when the Dems said, "Okay!"

But because they provided health insurance, this is basically a cut in benefits and/or salary (just like any company that would end health insurance), so they arranged for subsidies that covered the expense.

Make sense?
