Um, you do realize that members of the House and Senate, along with their staffers, are not excluded from the ACA? You do know this, don't you?

You are wrong. Almost of those 16, female Democratic senators are in the equal of Harris:

Women senators for the 115th Congress[ edit]In January 2017, the number of serving women senators increased to 21: 16 Democrats and 5 Republicans. Democratic Senators Barbara Mikulski and Barbara Boxer did not seek re-election in 2016, while four new Democratic senators were elected: Catherine Cortez Masto (Nevada), Tammy Duckworth (Illinois), Kamala Harris (California), and Maggie Hassan (New Hampshire). Republican Senator Kelly Ayotte (New Hampshire) lost to Maggie Hassan.

Of the two seats that changed hands from Republican to Democrat both were won by women, Duckworth and Hassan.

For three states, California, Washington, and New Hampshire, both senators are women. Eleven female senators had previously served in the U.S. House of Representatives – a distinction long held by only Margaret Chase Smith – Sens. Mikulski, Boxer, Snowe, Lincoln, Stabenow, Cantwell, Gillibrand, Baldwin, Hirono, Capito, and Duckworth.

Election, selection and family[ edit]

<<

<<If you want to see some righteous people look at the 18 Democratic women senators.

I am hopeful for our Junior Senator Kamala Harris. As for the others I would say which one of those 18 female Senators fought to not allow the Senate to be excluded from ACA? The answer is none so they can't be that righteous. Yes maybe I am overly broadbrushing the career politicians but I think very few of them are genuine in their representation of their constituents.
