Mr. Speaker, I heard the gentleman from Louisiana say that Members of Congress were not in the exchange, and that is simply not the case. And I don't want to hear it repeated from the other side of the aisle. This current bill that we passed says that Members of Congress have to go into the exchange and have the same health care benefits through the exchange as any other American. So don't keep repeating that because it is simply not true.
