[QUOTE="Sportello, post: 1564102, member: 55299"] The ACA does require members of Congress to purchase their health coverage through the exchanges, but if they buy their health coverage elsewhere, the government cuts off its contribution to their insurance plan. An [URL='https://www.opm.gov/retirement-services/publications-forms/benefits-administration-letters/2013/13-207.pdf']official summary[/URL] of that provision of the ACA says that “(n)othing in the final rule or the law prevents a Member of Congress or designated congressional staff from declining a Government contribution for him or herself by choosing a different option for their health insurance coverage.” In other words, under Obamacare, Ted Cruz can insure his family any way he likes, but if he wants the government to shoulder part of the burden, he will have to use the exchanges.
