Don't forget that his wife is also a US Senator, so he is covered by Uncle Sam regardless of whether it is by virtue of his former prez status or his marriage (or whatever you wish to call it) to Hillary.

For the record, I think Uncle Sam should supply health insurance to former Presidents.

Former presidents, like members of congress (once vested), are covered by the same healthcare plan that was extant while in office. And it is proper that such be the case.

"...For the record, I think Uncle Sam should supply health insurance to former Presidents. and for the record he should be covered just as any other employee - I think it is 5 or 10 years of service (vested) and you pay your "fair share", as I do. Originally, it was supposed to be half of the cost, but, I think the employee pays more than that, plus deductible, plus no dental or eye glasses.

He is most likely covered by Hillary's plan... or the cost will be a gift from an unstated contributor - possibly one in yellow robes, etc.
