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."
