President re-enrolls in ObamaCare (yet remains exempt from it)
The Hill ^ | 12/23/14 | Jesse Byrnes

President Obama re-enrolled in ObamaCare for the coming year in a symbolic gesture to show support for his namesake healthcare law.

Obama, a few days into his annual two-week Christmas vacation to Hawaii, renewed his cheaper bronze-level health insurance plan for 2015 through a Washington, D.C., exchange, a White House official said.

“As we said last year, the act of the President signing up for insurance coverage through the DC exchange is symbolic since the President’s health care will continue to be provided by the military,” the official said.

“But, he was pleased to participate in a plan as a show of support for these marketplaces which are providing quality, affordable health care options to millions of people. The President selected a bronze plan last year, and he remains on that plan," the official added.

A White House aide enrolled the president in an insurance plan last year. Obama and Vice President Biden and their immediate families receive healthcare through the White House Medical Unit.

As of Dec. 19, 4.5 million people had renewed their health insurance plans and another 1.9 million new customers had signed up for insurance through the federal marketplace, the Department of Health and Human Services announced earlier in the day. Those numbers do not include states that operate their own exchanges.

Officials hope to see 9.1 million sign-ups by February, revised down from 13 million.

I am sure that his bronze obamacare plan approved and paid for the CT scan for his sore throat from acid reflux this past month.
.
obamas Dr said ...............
“The CT scan was conducted this afternoon purely as a matter of convenience for the President’s schedule. The CT scan was normal. The President’s symptoms are consistent with soft tissue inflammation related to acid reflux and will be treated accordingly.”
.
wonder if the rest of the bronze plan [atients can get convenient $2500.00 or so free CT scans ?

“”4.5 million people had renewed their health insurance plans and another 1.9 million new customers had signed up for insurance””

Sweet! Now what about the remaining 33-34 million out of the original 40 million we were told didn’t have insurance? Are they going without insurance? Oh! My! No!

More proof — never had a real job, doesn’t do actual work, will remain clueless as to why the private (voluntary/productive) sector will forever detest him

Everything about this tan bag-of-bones is fake. He probably isn’t legally president of anything.

Regular folks with the Bronze plan after their $2500 CAT get a postcard printed wth:

Congratulations!
Dec 25, 2014

Your recent CAT Scan charge of $2500 has been approved and applied to your $6000 deductible.

Only $3500 more in medical expenses that you must pay before ACA coverage kicks in.

Remember that you must reach the $6000 threshold before midnight Dec 31, 2014 to receive ACA benefits for 2014.

Medical expenses up to $5999 cannot be carried forward to 2015.

Thank Ypu for participating in President Obama’s

MeDon’tCare Bronze Plan
