White House press secretary Jay Carney sidestepped questions Monday about whether the president has signed up for health insurance under ObamaCare.
I know that he will and has said that he will, the White House has said that he will, but I don't have an update, White House press secretary Jay Carney told reporters on Monday.
Asked what the president was waiting for and whether his attempt to enroll in the exchange would be open to members of the press Carney laughed. I'll get back to you, he said.
In 2010, White House spokesman Reid Cherlin pledged the president would sign up on the exchanges in response to an amendment offered by Sen. Charles Grassley (R-Iowa) that would have required the president to purchase coverage.
The president will participate in the exchange, Cherlin told USA Today. But let's be clear: The amendments being offered by Senate Republicans, including this one, are just a ploy to delay the bill.
Republican lawmakers have continued to press the administration to enroll in the exchanges following implementation of the law.
In a heated exchange on Capitol Hill, Rep. Cory Gardner (R-Colo.) repeatedly asked Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius why she had not purchased insurance on the exchanges.
Sebelius incorrectly said that it would be illegal for her to do so, because her healthcare was included in her compensation as a federal employee. Those with employer-provided insurance can purchase separate coverage through the exchanges, but are not eligible for tax credits to reduce the price of premiums. Sebelius, however, is prohibited from buying insurance because she is a Medicare enrollee.
Obama, who is younger, has no such restriction although presidents and their immediate families are eligible for free treatment in military hospitals during and after their presidencies.
The administration separately touted increased visitors to HealthCare.gov and said technical fixes are making the site speedier and more accessible to visitors.
Doesn't count if Hussein fails to make payments.
At a guess; the one Barky secretly issued himself by Precious and Super Top Secret Executive Decree.
000-00-0000.
I’d guess 666-66-6 666.
STOLEN SSN #042-68-4425
If Soetoro is from HAWAII, why does his SSN start with the CONNECTICUT SSN code ‘042’?
Because he’s using a STOLEN SSN.
Folks, look up ‘SSN prefix by State’ and see the list of codes.
‘042’ means CONNECTICUT issued it.
What if somebody steals “his” SSN? Can they be prosecuted for ID theft when they find out it really isn’t his?
Doesnt’ he get insurance through his job?
And now is the time for a hacker to make a name for themself.
THEN call him an Evil Conservative Right-Wing Tea-Party Republican. (/sarc) (kinda).
Why does BO get to seal his personal records, but everyone else’s are an open book to him and his minions via Obamacare, NSA, IRS etc. Will he put false information in when he signs up?
Translation: "When it happens the White Hut will provide USA Today with an administration approved photo."
I don’t see the IRS “fining” Obama.....ever! Even if a republican is elected in 2016 he’ll repeat what W said: “Let’s move on.”
Good. I just hope the Healthcare.gov website hackers get enough of his personal information to hack his college transcripts, arrest record, and medical files.
