Not exactly. Senator Grassly attached some language to a bill concerning Congress and its staff purchasing from the Exchange, but did not think it through. They are Federarl Employess and are covered by Federal Employees Health Benefits Plan (FEHBP). So, well alot of stuff is going on and it is still in dispute. See the link.

Wow, your premiums AND your deductible increased. Now that does seem bad.

As far as the explanation. Well that is what the insurance company would say, but again it could just be pernicious behavior on their part to get a rate increase. Fertile females, yeah maternity benefits. 50 year old female...no. Unmarried male...no maternity benefits. The companies have the ability to adjust rates based on specific data. They may not want to, but I contend that its them, not the ACA. But perhaps the law could be tweaked to fix this. And yes, all the "rich" pcps are getting slammed on this. It's one of my issues with the ACA.
