CNN:
Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, one of Obamacare's architects and staunchest supporters, is also the only top congressional leader to exempt some of his staff from having to buy insurance through the law's new exchanges.
Reid is the exception
among the other top congressional leaders. GOP House Speaker John
Boehner, House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi and Senate Republican
Leader Mitch McConnell have all directed their staffs to join the
exchange, their aides said.
In the charged atmosphere
surrounding Obamacare, Reid's decision only gives Republicans more ammo
to attack Democrats already suffering politically from the law's
botched rollout.
In September, Reid told
reporters, "Let's stop these really juvenile political games -- the one
dealing with health care for senators and House members and our staff.
We are going to be part of exchanges, that's what the law says and we'll
be part of that."
