“The president signed up for a ‘bronze’ plan via the Washington, D.C. exchange, according to a White House statement, but the action was described as “symbolic” and more a show of support from the president for his signature law than a substantive decision to obtain health coverage. The president will continue to receive health care through the military, the White House said.
Additionally, Obama did not sign himself up through Healthcare.gov or the D.C. exchange’s website — instead, aides signed him up in-person because of the “complicated nature of the president’s case,” the White House said, which includes the accessibility of his personal information on government databases used by the website.”
A number of people have given up hope that his identity will ever be verified, but this is weird.
He “signed up” but didn’t actually sign up because his information is not available on government databases? If any former presidents are reading this thread, please comment.
