Andrea totally failed at the question of why congress has to be part of Obamacare and the president doesn't. The way she answered (or didn't answer) it, you'd think she doesn't know the reason. Of course, the reason is because congress wrote it into the law that they buy insurance through the exchange, and it that came about because of Grassley's amendment.
I dislike the way Duffy views Obamacare. Well, duh. But, I mean, the way he talks about it, I am not "in Obamacare" because I'm not buying my insurance on the exchange. Like the president, like most Americans, my insurance comes through my employer. Still, the insurance my employer can offer is very much affected by Obamacare. The ACA affects a huge number of things in healthcare outside of the exchanges. It would be more correct to say Duffy is less "in Obamacare" than I am. Because he's getting an employer subsidy from a large employer while participating in the exchanges, something no one else can get away with right now.
