Rubio enrolls family in Obamacare exchange

http://www.tampabay.com/blogs/the-buzz-florida-politics/rubio-enrolls-family-in-obamacare-exchange/2156339

"Senator Rubio spent time looking at all the options and decided to enroll through the DC exchange for coverage for him and his family," a spokeswoman told the Buzz. The deadline was today.

Rubio took the federal subsidy afforded to lawmakers and staff -- a perk some Republicans wanted to kill off.

The subsidy for members of Congress and their families should be ended. Members of Congress make about $175,000 per year. In my opinion that is enough money for them to pay for their own healthcare.

Kind of money likely has significantly employer-subsidized health insurance.
