It's not that they are exempt-- they already have a health insurance plan, as do presidents, supreme court judges, and other government employees. They are covered by the "Federal Employees Health Benefits Program." What you are asking about is similar to this situation: if your employer already covers you at work, you won't need to change that under the new health law. Federal employees are already covered, so they don't need any new plan.

Did congress approve ObamaCare?
yes
Is Congress exempt from universal healthcare?
No, this is another internet myth. The reason they don't have "ObamaCare" has nothing to do with being exempt. The reality is they don't need it, because for many years, long before President Obama came to office, congress already had its own healthcare package. Thus, members of congress simply kept the plan they already had. It should also be noted that the congressional plan is not "free"-- there are premiums, and every member must pay for certain services. I enclose a link to a Politifact piece that debunks the claim about congress being "exempt."
