Because it depends on volunteers. Noble indeed, but how does one persuade the medical profession to become so involved as to cover the millions of uninsured?
By forgiving their student loans in return for a minimum number of years commitment.

So, in essence, another government pay out.

I don't disagree because Georgia does that now poorer rural areas and it seems to work.

Just pointing out that it would be another cost of the program that was suppose to save money.

Nothing's simple when it comes to Socialist programs.

Didn’t Obama recently make a public appeal for people to use paper applications?
Via Weekly Standard:
The Obama administration began emphasizing the option of applying for insurance through the Obamacare Marketplace with a paper application ever since it became apparent that the online process at Healthcare.gov was riddled with problems. More recently, however, the administration began to shift the emphasis away from paper applications due to concerns they might not be processed in time to meet the deadline for January coverage. Now the link to the downloadable paper application at Healthcare.gov has been removed altogether.

Actually mogul is correct. Hoax is just being his usual charming self, bless his heart.
I am a skier (or was) so I knew it was somewhat relevant.
However, the well worn cliche uses the term "molehill".
Besides, the purpose was an apparent unsuccessful attempt at humor incorporating Obama's mixed heritage and contested birthplace.
I guess it was a bit too obtuse for baba but I was glad to see you got it.

But, as AFP's Roberto Schmidt pointed out in a blog, "photos can lie."

Writes Schmidt: "In reality, just a few seconds earlier the first lady was herself joking with those around her, Cameron and Schmidt included. Her stern look was captured by chance."

Schmidt also discloses that Thorning Schmidt, the Danish prime minister, produced the smartphone in which the selfie is now presumably stored.

The photographer describes the incident, which occurred just after Obama's eulogy for Mandela:

"So Obama took his place amid these leaders who'd gathered from all corners of the globe. Among them was British Prime Minister David Cameron, as well as a woman who I wasn't able to immediately identify.

"I later learned it was the Danish Prime Minister Helle Thorning Schmidt. I'm a German-Colombian based in India, so I don't feel too bad I didn't recognize her! At the time, I thought it must have been one of Obama's many staffers.

"Anyway, suddenly this woman pulled out her mobile phone and took a photo of herself smiling with Cameron and the U.S. president. I captured the scene reflexively."

Schmidt also pointed out that this was a memorial service, not a funeral: "All around me in the stadium, South Africans were dancing, singing and laughing to honor their departed leader. It was more like a carnival atmosphere, not at all morbid. The ceremony had already gone on for two hours and would last another two. The atmosphere was totally relaxed -- I didn't see anything shocking in my viewfinder, president of the U.S. or not."
