Obama signed up for Obamacare

[BDBoop]

And since he is, as an American president, entitled to care through the military, he will now pay $4800 annually for absolutely nothing, congratulations on your 'victory.'

Obama signs up for health care, buying bronze plan the White House calls 'symbolic' - The Washington Post

WaPo was able to find one honest Republican to comment.

“I’m not going to take a cheap shot at him for signing up,” Chaffetz said. “It really wasn’t necessary, but if he didn’t do it, we would all bark at him. . . . He’s the president of the United States. His health care is a little different than the rest of us. We get that.”

The GOP push to get Obama to sign up dates to the crafting of the law in 2010. As the Senate neared debate on the bill that would become the Affordable Care Act, Sen. Charles E. Grassley (R-Iowa) introduced an amendment that would require Obama and Vice President Biden, as well as the Cabinet and top White House staff members, to purchase health insurance through the marketplaces.

“It’s pretty unbelievable that the president and his closest advisers remain untouched by the reforms they pushed for the rest of the country,” Grassley said at the time. “In other words, President Obama’s health-care reform won’t apply to President Obama.”

Senate Democrats rejected that approach, arguing that the purpose was to cover those not already offered insurance by their employers. Congress approved a separate provision requiring lawmakers and some of their staff members to use the exchanges, but not the president or his aides.

Nonetheless, the White House said at the time that Obama would sign up for an insurance plan through the program once the marketplaces went online.

He isn't going to be paying anything.

only an idiot would think a liar can be trusted.

 

[Meathead]

He probably liked his plan and didn't want to seem like a hypocrite. Too late.

It's a charade. There sure are a lot of gullible liberals here.

It's a charade. There sure are a lot of gullible liberals here.

And you can keep your healthcare coverage too.

 

[Two Thumbs]

He only signed up b/c people started asking why he wasn't signed up.

fuck him, he's got the money to pay out of pocket for anything, unlike most of the 6 million that lost their HCI

fyi; some of those people will die, not that liberals give a fuck

He won't be paying for anything.
He didn't sign up for anything.
Since his personal data is particularly sensitive obviously...they SYMBOLICALLY "signed up".
And he didn't even do it himself - a staffer did it for him.
He is not in the system. He will be paying nothing.
Admittedly - he couldn't win for losing in this. Either way he would have been chastised. Only thing he could have done "right" - would be to actually sign up - for real, him and his family. But why would he give up better insurance for the sudo Obamacare pretend insurance?

obama signed up for nothing. The sign up was merely symbolic.

obama signed up for nothing. The sign up was merely symbolic.

Only any idiot would believe it was anything else.

 

[Politico]

Only an idiot would believe that a guy who has a staff of free doctors and an unlimited budget would drop it for da bronze plan.

Way the coverage here told it was his aides signed him up. My first thought was, isn't that illegal? The information being of a personal nature and such. Symbollic and redundant or not, signing up's signing up and akin to signing an affivdavit yes?

 

[S.J.]

I wonder if he put down his fake S.S. number or showed them his fake birth certificate.

 

[BobPlumb]

Obama signed up.......symbolic my ass.....just another Obama lie.

I re-read the article and see no mention of aides signing him up.

irrelevant

he didn't drop his current plan

Not even he's dumb enough to rely on that non-sense
