I would tend to agree, but if that is correct, would they kick up such a fuss about losing the subsidy?

President Trump threatens to end a government subsidy (also known as our tax dollars) that pays part of the ObamaCare premiums for Congress. Without it, Congress would be required to select from and pay for the same types of plans the average citizen has available to them. Given how reluctant they are to make any changes to ObamaCare, they shouldn't have a problem with that, right? Wrong. Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy described it this way

"This is a clear threat to Congress: pass my health bill or as punishment I will end health care for you, your staff, & your constituents.”

So Sen. Murphy equates having the same healthcare options as the rest of us as a "punishment" and "ending health care" for them.

Typical liberal hypocrisy - it's good for you, but I want something better. Oh, and you get to pay for it, too.
