In an interview with Think Progress, New Hampshire Congressman Frank Guinta states that he will not be taking the Health Care portion of the benefits package afforded to members of Congress.

Snippet taken mid-interview.

TP2: He’s referring to the Federal Employees Benefits Plan that all members receive.

GUINTA: Well, I think there’s a difference between the benefit package and dictating to every American that they have to purchase health care. That being said, I am not taking the health care portion of the benefits.

TP: You won’t be taking the health care portion?

GUINTA: No.
