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.

I'm currently looking for it and not just some opinion piece. I did read a direct cut from the language and I was not a stretch to understand the meaning by my estimation. Looked it up in the bill itself.
I did save this however save this from Pelosi's Bill however. Like I was saying the bill is riddled with the language "Shall" or "Must" when referring to the people.
One section of the Pelosi bill that DOESN’T use the word “shall” or “must” is section 330 (on page 225):
SEC. 330. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, Members of Congress may enroll in the public health insurance option.
I will find the rest but a 1900+ page document is not easy to navigate. Particularly on this ancient laptop I'm using at the moment. The POS moves about as fast as a herd of turtles.
