The Senate exempts itself from it own weathcare proposal

Not surprising that they don't want the shitty coverage they want for the rest of us. They want to allow States to offer policies that don't provide 'essential benefits' like maternity leave and mental health services, and yet policies must include those benefits in the Senate's coverage. Which should tell us that essential benefits really should be part of any healthcare plan. That is, if we want to keep our people healthy. Big if, apparently.
