Republicans exempt their own insurance from their latest health care proposal

Is that what you thought?

The ACA required congress critters to buy their insurance through the ACA exchanges.

Rs inserted that provision into the ACA. I think it was actually a good idea, so now, of course, they're deciding it wasn't a good idea.

Funny how people here refuse to see the elephant in the room; big money in politics and legalized bribery. The puppets people vote for to Congress do NOT represent you, but their donors. They know the bills they pass are bad for you and good for their donors. Now millions with pre-existing conditions will no longer get the health care they need and the puppets you vote for are fine with it as long as it doesnt apply to themselves.

Instead people talk about term limits, like that is some important solution. Get big money out of politics!

Yes, it's right there in the ACA.

Yeah, that's what I thought...

Think harder in the future. Or use Google.

If you havent figured out that both parties are essentially the same you are behind.

Trump was elected for this very reason.
