29. Remember that the ACA has "tiers" of plans

Sat Nov 15, 2025, 06:42 PM

Saturday

so I expect they would opt for the highest tier in their exchange (D.C. one).

In order to get the ACA passed (and I watched many of the hearings from the various Committees in both the House and Senate and monitored their markups and eventual Joint Conference Committee markups in order to have ONE bill to vote on in both chambers), the caveat was as a supposed "punishment" to members (since a pile of people were "running away from the ACA" which is why Democrats lost 64 seats in the House in 2010)... and to get enough votes to pass it, they added the requirement that their own members (and staff) use the ACA for coverage.
