Well looky here members of congress must get their coverage ....
From insurance exchanges created by this bill. So we will be getting the same plans as members of congress.

MEMBERS OF CONGRESS IN THE EX5
CHANGE.—
6 (i) REQUIREMENT.—Notwithstanding
7 any other provision of law, after the effec8
tive date of this subtitle, the only health
9 plans that the Federal Government may
10 make available to Members of Congress
11 and congressional staff with respect to
12 their service as a Member of Congress or
13 congressional staff shall be health plans
14 that are—
15 (I) created under this Act (or an
16 amendment made by this Act); or
17 (II) offered through an Exchange
18 established under this Act (or an
19 amendment made by this Act).

Interesting indeed!
