Ease answer: Because they already have a very good health plan.
The Affordable Care Act is not meant to replace very good insurance. It’s meant to help those people like me, without insurance for eight years after my insurance company dropped me in 2003, get affordable insurance. When some of the ACA conditions kicked in on January 1, 2012, I had insurance companies emailing me, calling me, mailing me, even knocking at my door to get me signed up!
As of July 1, 2012, I now have affordable insurance again, even with the preexisting conditions that cause my 2003 insurance carrier (whom I had had for ten years) to drop me.
Maybe it’s an anti-corruption thing – ie so legislators don’t benefit from their own legislation.
Excellent question!
