Desh and Christiekins should be along soon to tell how this proves Obamacare is more popular than ever.
Obama, who is on vacation in Hawaii, had a staffer do the heavy lifting for him, a White House official says.
He had to be enrolled in person, in no small part because his personal information is not readily available in the variety of government databases HealthCare.gov uses to verify identities.
“The act of the president signing up for insurance coverage through the DC exchange is symbolic since the president's health care will continue to be provided by the military,” the official added.
“But he was pleased to participate in a plan as a show of support for these marketplaces which are providing quality, affordable health care options to more than a million people. The president selected a bronze plan.”
Bronze plans have the lowest premiums and tend to have higher deductibles.
Obama doesn’t qualify for a federal subsidy to help pay premiums, both because of his income and because he is already covered.
