Your article says Obama himself will be participating in the Gov't exchange program voluntarily. I really don't see how requiring the pres and Congress to participate in the insurance exchanges will have much impact on them as they can all get VA/Medicare/private plans/etc anyway. The poorest member of Congress has at least 2 million dollars. Once you reach that level you can pretty much just pay cash.

Also, the Dems kept their house seat in the special election in Florida yesterday. I thought they were supposed to be losing seats?
