Chuck Todd makes important point to Republican Rep.

http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/chuck-todd-grills-rep-cotton-on-obamacare

"Chuck, the Obamacare law was clear," Cotton said. "Congress should go into the exchanges to experience what it's like to live in the exchanges. If the special deal goes forward, Congress will be the only people in America come January one who have an employer contribution to the health insurance. The staffers have access any way. Do they make less than 400 percent of the poverty line? If they make more than that, they have to bear the full cost of healing insurance."

Todd was puzzled at that response as well.

"You think think the federal government should dump everyone into exchanges? That's what you are saying. They have employer-based healthcare systems," Todd said in response "They have an employer-based benefit. The point is for people that did not have health care benefits."
