Just would like to hear your opinion/reaction to your President not putting his family on Obamacare.

The President, his cabinet, US Congressman & US Senators and their families all have fabulous healthcare insurance provided by the tax payers. The best money can buy. You wouldn't expect politicians, who all seem to get stinking rich during their terms and vote in their own level of care and benefits, to subject their families to the minimum 'wait-in-line' care that will be provided to the poor at the bottom of income levels.

i'm pretty sure that Mr Obama isn't in great need of "Obamacare" people like me, however, are, and for that, i'm truly thankful for him for looking out for us. I'm sure that Mitt Romney also, has a enough money to buy coverage far more than most of us could afford.

There is a great need for healthcare reform. I am sure the current government plan will hit many snafus. There will be many changes made to it over the next few years, hopefully that will make it work better than not. Personally, I do not trust the government to do a very good job. They rarely do and it may become a bureaucratic nightmare. I hope not. It will not effect me that much, except I am sure I will pay more in taxes because of it. What worries me much more is the ever growing trillions of dollars in debt that the federal government is losing ground to on a daily basis without any real concept on how to pay it down or even stem the rise.

Mitt can afford to do like I do (and can't afford) and pay out of his own damned pocket for 100% of everything needed. So can the rest of Congress.

Fucking hypocritical assholios - that includes you too Doc.

I've been trying to practice the Republican suggested Health Care Plan for the last 15 years.

Don't get ill

If you live in the United States doctorlove, Barack Obama is your president, whether you voted for him or not.

The introduction of universal healthcare was bitterly opposed in Canada, before it was accepted.
Now most understand we couldn't live without it.

Tom's Notebook, or The Misadventures of an Unrepentant Souse, soon to be a major motion picture - well, a minor still-life drawing - penned by the trembling hand that conjured up such overtures to love-that-dare-not-stick-its-finger-down-its-throat, (for fear of what unspeakable horrors, from what unnamable levels of fresh hell, might conceivably become uncovered, and unwittingly dredged up), as The Extrapolated Scarlet Garment, Columbine in Fifth Street Traffic, and that Elmer Fudd inspired classic, Dwive, ("My wuv is wike a wed, wed, wose...") (pause for intermission, cigarettes, and the chance to catch one's breath), - is now perched like a flasher with a major grin pinned to his face, and a minor in French literature, upon Oberon's invitingly admission-fee-suspended, pimped and tarted profile page, for your perusal, and - although it's highly doubtful - your enjoyment.

Obamacare is not a single system. It is a response to the fact that the employment based health insurance system has collapsed.

The major factor in the bankruptcy of GM was the obligations to the healthcare fund for retirees.

If you have employment based healthcare then nothing changes for you except that you don't have to worry about losing your healthcare if you lose your job. We lost health coverage 3 days after my wife was laid off. That required my employer to change my contract so that I could be insured under their policy.

Anyone who thinks that the US health care system was working before must have had a lobotomy too many.

"Just would like to hear your opinion/reaction to your President not putting his family on Obamacare."

what a hypocrite!!! it's an outrage!!! unacceptable!!! he should be thrown out of office!!!

(ouch. i think i just pulled my sarcasm muscle)

...excuse me while search the trash for at least half the brain you left behind. I hate seeing someone without even half a brain. Kinda reminds me of that old scarecrow.

I know that I'm gonna be like this forever. I'm never gonna be what I should. And you think that I'll be bad for just a little while. But I know that I'll be bad for good.

Well he could if he wanted to put his family on a private plan paid for by him. He could also file a 1040 EZ tax form and pay the maximum in taxes to the US Federal Government, but , he has yet to do that either. His promise was a $2,500 per private policy drop in premiums from the time he signed the Socialist health care act.... so far all we have seen is increases. The thing is his cost for this plan was going to be no more then 900 Billion over the first 10 yrs, so far CBO places that cost at 1.76 Trillion.

And for those of you who voted for any of the uber conservative Republicans in the last two national elections (2010-2012).

Using the Fiscal Cliff situation - the leading Republicans in congress - put off an aid packaged for victims of Hurricane Sandy.

House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) and House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) pulled the plug on a vote after bickering over tax hikes, spending cuts and the “fiscal cliff” distracted lawmakers from storm victims’ plight.

The House adjourned and the chamber dimmed with the livid New York and New Jersey delegations still on the floor.

Rep. Pete King (R-L.I.) said no official reason was given on the floor. He called the delay “a betrayal of trust” after heavy lobbying by Gov. Cuomo and Mayor Bloomberg.

“For the Speaker to just walk out is wrong, and I say that as a member of the Republican Party,” King said.

It took Congress just 10 days to pass disaster aid after Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans. When San Francisco was hobbled by an earthquake in 1989, an aid package became law eight days later.

But 65 long days have passed since Hurricane Sandy ravaged New York and people like Rockaway Park, Queens, resident Phyllis Cavazzina are still waiting for congressional action.

“It’s disgraceful,” fumed Cavazzina, 59, who said her neighborhood still looks like a war zone. "They told us to basically drop dead.”

LOL exactly. I savor the delicious irony of guys like King and Chris Christie, who spew demagoguery and lies, and more importantly, support the careers of countless others that do the same, but then turn around and act aggrieved and surprised when those same people fail to act with a baseline of competency and compassion. Just hilarious. Go have another fudge sundae, Christie. You helped make this bed, pal.

Robin, your answers are typically good enough for all of us. :)

As for me, I'll happily respond as requested:



I'd have never expected him to do so in the first place, unless he was previously uninsured, though with his assets and income, that's highly unlikely.

That's flaming bullshit.
You don't even have to like the President or support him to follow simple logic. The health care act aims to provide a minimum for people who do not have insurance. A President, a congressperson, and a large portion of the middle class do not have need of its provisions, as they provide (with or without the help of their employers). The healthcare law does not ask or require those with the means to take that minimum, but it is designed to help those who currently cannot do so for themselves.

Very unlikely, considering he and his family are protected for life by the best health care in the world... bought and paid for by the American tax payer (all 52% of us).

But think about it Lady X, if he and his family were on HIS health care plan it would take this argument away forever. But he's not. Humm.......
