Why can't the Republicans do it. Not like they have a shortage of candidates.

When did Pelosi run for President as a Republican?

Maybe it is Pelosi's standards that are too high.

You posted an article saying that the coverage they have is not the same as most of their constituents. That is true. They actually fared worse than other federal employees.cltrat said:
I said they had the same coverage available to all Other federal employees. They did. There were part of the FEHBP. They, like all federal employees, pay 25% of the premium while the other 75% is paid for by the federal government. Copays and deductibles are generally higher than the plans that airline employees have/had. After the passage of the ACA/Obamacare, Congress actually had to go to the exchanges, no longer the regular process that federal employees use. They still have a cafeteria style option.
From your link:
"Lawmakers and their aides are not eligible for tax credit subsidies, but the government pays up to 75 percent of their premiums, contributing a maximum of $5,114 a year for individual coverage and $11,378 for family coverage. The government contribution is based on the same formula used for most other federal employees.
For decades, members of Congress have received coverage through the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program. They generally like their coverage, but like millions of Americans facing the loss of their policies next year they cannot keep it."
The article you posted supports that. The only additional perk they get is a clinic and doctor on-site at the Capitol. That article was talking about the experience they had in choosing health care options under Obamacare and the navigation process.
