No responses to that one either.

Show me the proposal which requires universal participation in a gummint program, with or without Congress. There ain't one.

The only thing I can think of that you might be referring to is the "individual mandate" requiring everyone to be insured, either privately or under the co-op of private insurers which is the public option. I can see some Republican troll saying that Congress was "exempted" because they get insurance as part of their gig so they wouldn't have to participate in the public option. True enough but neither does anyone else as long as they have private insurance.
