HONOLULU — He won’t use it, and he didn’t actually sign up for it himself, but President Barack Obama has enrolled for health coverage through the new insurance exchanges.
Announcing his enrollment Monday, the White House called it a symbolic show of Obama’s support for the fledgling exchanges where millions of Americans must buy insurance or face a penalty. Ironically, it also served as a reminder of just how complex and sometimes daunting the process can be.
Obama, like so many other Americans, couldn’t use the website.
“The complicated nature of the president’s case required an in-person sign-up,” the White House said.
White House officials noted that for security reasons, the president’s personal information is not readily available in government databases that the exchanges use to verify identities and check eligibility for tax subsidies.

Hiding the Hacking at HealthCare.gov [will not let you know] "........The Federal Register tells the tale about what happened on March 27, 2012, at a meeting on the issue.
At that meeting, two commenters asked HHS to ensure the exchanges would promptly notify affected enrollees in the event of a data breach or unauthorized access to the exchange’s databases. One commenter suggested that a full investigation be launched each time such a breach occurred, with the goal of holding hackers legally and financially accountable for breaking into the website.
According to a report by the group Watchdog.org, HHS responded: “We do not plan to include the specific notification procedures in the final rule. Consistent with this approach, we do not include specific policies for investigation of data breaches in this final rule.” In other words, the government doesn’t have to tell you about a security breach unless it decides it wants to — despite the fact that private companies are required to publicly disclose any incidents. State laws also require many of the 14 state-run insurance exchanges to disclose such information, but no such law exists for the federally run exchange, which 36 states rely upon............."
In other words -—— His SSN is already being used.
Always an excuse with this phony POS.
But the lying mac daddy administration is telling use that there are millions signing up as of today.
That was followed by this lying administration claiming that they saw a pig fly by the whitehouse on it’s way to also sign up.
“White House officials noted that for security reasons, the president’s personal information is not readily available in government databases”
In other words, the site is not secure for ANYONE.
Isn’t it true that given his social security number Obama would have to sign up on Connecticut’s exchange?
Fox news said zero wanted to show “Solidarity” with the American people, that’s why he pseudo signed up. Not necessary zero, you are not one of us.
Showing again how stupid he thinks Americans are. What a condescending, arrogant, pompous jackass.
He symbolically signs up for his stupid program, which is meaningless because he’s got golden coverage compliments of the American taxpayers, and he thinks everyone is going to think this is leading? Please. Spare everyone the insult.
Fake enrollement.
Fake SS#.
Fake pRes_ _ent.
Obama is blessed (er, perhaps cursed) with enough wealth that he can actually pay someone to read the fine print of this law and sign him up. Unlike the middle class he claims to champion, he’ll never feel a dent in his budget.
“As Commander In Chief he gets his health care through the military.”
Great. He can get his health care from the Veterans Administration once he’s out. Oh, and his retirement should come from the military, too. No COLA for you Sparky.
If a Republican did something like this, the MSM would be ballistic.
Since it’s Caliph Baraq, I’ve not seen this anywhere but FR.
lol - good one.
Or he had to prove citizenship.
Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
The Bam creature was stirring, The One who’s a louse.
The website was hung up as we moaned in wide stare,
In hopes that the deadline would not soon be there.
The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While nightmares of Bam’s treats pranced on their heads.
And Mooschelle in her burqa and Bam with his crap,
Had muddied our brains, for our healthcare they sapped.
When out on the Twitter there arose such a chatter,
Dummies from their beds when it finally matters,
Away to social media they flew like a flash,
Eyes open from blind shutters and threw off their hash.
I think if I was one of the 7 million that had their insurance cancelled by obama (I’ll be joining them next year when my employer policy gets cancelled), I’d be furious with a publicity stunt where a takes an entire taxpayer staff to SYMBOLICALLY sign him up for something he won’t use, but everyone else is forced to buy. This is definitely adding insult to injury.
LOL Baraq's pension by law will be equal to the salary of cabinet members, or about $200,000. That will pay the allowance of Malaria and Sharia.
So he signed up but it was fake. Such delicious irony.
Fake but accurate—CBS knows a thing or two about that.... aint that right Dan Rather?
