“Congressional leaders in both parties are engaged in high-level, confidential talks about exempting lawmakers and Capitol Hill aides from the insurance exchanges they are mandated to join as part of President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul, sources in both parties said.

By removing themselves from a key Obamacare component, lawmakers and aides would be held to a different standard than the people who put them in office.”
