Illegitimate president and his pals get the best health care for free!
WASHINGTON - July 28, 2009 – “This isn't about me," illegitimate President Obama allows. "I have great health care."
So the illegitimate president should, but Obama's checkups aren't the problem. It's the fact that our nation's entire political class lives in an alternative health-care universe - and will do so even after the rest of us are stuck with the disaster of ObamaCare.
Start with the top White House staffers, assistants to the bogus president. These are Obama's closest advisers, the people who have his ear.
Like most on the federal payroll, they have access to government-subsidized private insurance. But they can also get treatment above and beyond what is available anywhere else - courtesy of outstanding military medical staff on-site at the White House and at the National Naval Medical Center at Bethesda, Maryland.
Bethesda is one of the world's top hospitals, with a staff of more than 4,500. There, according to people familiar with the situation, Obama's senior advisers have access to a health-care Shangri-La.
Prescriptions for any condition under the sun are written and the drugs swiftly dispensed; virtually unlimited tests and blood work are conducted; and any medical procedure, including in-patient surgery, is performed at no cost to the patient. Any expenses above what private insurance covers are generally waived.
As one former senior White House official put it, "If you were an assistant to the president and you needed open-heart surgery, you could have it done at Bethesda for free."
