I can only imagine the outrage if he didn't sign up just because he didn't need it. Then you'd be all over him for breaking the law over his very own program.

Your outrage is as phony as you accuse him of being.
Since he already has health insurance then, no, the law is not forcing him to sign up for Obamacare. The law requires people to have health insurance, not sign up for Obamacare.

He is signing up for it because he can afford to pay for crappy healthcare that he does not need. It's a symbolic gesture. It's also a slap in the face to people who cannot afford the crappy bronze plan and who will be fined because they cannot afford to buy it.

If you say a lie enough it must be true

.........."if you say a lie enough it must be true"..

Not really.

Obama said.........."if you like your healthcare plan you get to keep it . Period ! .......

He said that .enough..... but still couldn't make that statement true.

And those such as yourself continue to display zero credibility with your name calling (childish and stupid) of a top rated news channel simply because you don't agree with what they say.

Actual facts to refute them would be nice (obviously you have none) and a mature discussion of their topics would be refreshing. But then you may have to admit that they have some valid points.

No. Everyone is required to have insurance. The Exchange is one option for people who aren't otherwise covered.

His identity could not be verified:

“We learned today from the White House. Initially, they said he signed up for what they called a bronze plan, paying about four hundred dollars a month in premiums. But, then they came back to us and said – Wait, he didn’t actually enroll. They said his staff did it and that’s because of his unique circumstance as Commander in Chief. That his personal information is not in particular government data bases. So healthcare.gov could not actually verify his identity, oddly enough… So his staff did it.”

The guy is all symbols and speeches ;so doesn't surprise me. Does he really think it's of comfort those who can't chose gold plans because of cost only.Perhaps with better planning so many wouldn't be dealing with the issues still in this season but likely he had no problem signing up.

Yea, 5-6 million people lost their insurance because of Obamacare

No, its not the "law." Its only the law IF you didn't have healthcare. I have healthcare, so why would I sign up for something I don't need? You really should pay better attention to things. Really, your comment was ignorant to the 10th degree.

I'm fairly certain he liked his other health plan, because he got to keep it.

HA HA HA boy did you hit the nail on the head,. Man can't do anything without a scandal following him, which by the way has not one damn thing to do with Faux News.

How many years of a tanking economy, going nowhere no how. With many unsuspecting souls having to be on welfare and food stamps for the first time of their life.

College grads, I have known some, that graduated but yet could not find a damn job. Small business we know this administration is a enemy of. Hope, Not! Change not for the Best!


He is a phony because many of us already know the Preisdent gets the best health care, this is just a gesture, for his many naïve supporters, who will lap it up.

And I understand from many people, that the website still is having major issues, and the whole purpose of this health care plan, was not to make people have higher deductibles nor premiums, but many less benefits then they now have, nor are able to keep their Physician. What part of fair is this.

Signing up for the "BRONZE PLAN" I find quite the joker, is at his games again.
