25. Umm... so, is that the only insurance that they can have?

See, with this stat staring me in the face...

I can see that the majority of Congress can get MUCH better insurance than what the ACA can offer. And, if they can have both, that means they pay for little or nothing while we who are left with plans that have deductibles that are larger than a year's income... well, they are still able to get way better healthcare than the vast majority of the population.
