Did all the repukes in Congress just sign up for Obamacare?

I missed a couple of days of news, but did this just happen?

Go read the chart at the end of the article

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-fix/wp/2013/12/09/whats-congress-doing-about-its-own-health-care/

– All top congressional leaders — Senate Majority Leader Harry M. Reid (D-Nev.), Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), House Speaker John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) — and their leadership deputies will receive coverage through the District’s exchange, known as DC Health Link.

– And what about prospective 2016 Republican presidential candidates serving in Congress? Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) and Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) are joining the D.C. exchange, while Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) hadn’t announced his plans by Monday morning. Cruz, as mentioned above, receives health-care coverage from his wife’s employer, Goldman Sachs.

Was our deadline for healthcare enrollment (I work for the government), so they had to make their choices from our exchange.
