On the recordOctober 15, 2013
Reclaiming my time and reclaiming the floor, I did not state that and I will not state that. What I did say is there is no subsidy available to Members of Congress and congressional staff under the ObamaCare statute. There is no provision in the statute for that old FEHBP subsidy to magically redo itself as an exchange subsidy. There is absolutely no provision of that whatsoever. Folks, these 8 million Americans who are forced out of the plans they like, they are not getting a subsidy. They are going to the individual exchange, and they are getting no comparable subsidy. If they have low enough income they get a subsidy for being at a certain income level. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The time of the Senator from Louisiana has expired.
