First, States have plenary power. Fed Gov has limited enumerated powers. Among those Fed Gov enumerated powers the regulation of medicine and insurance are absent.
Mass care has a high tax on people without insurance. Obamacare has a low tax, which encourages people to not carry insurance, but rather to pay the tax and not be insured. The normal concern about being uninsured is you might get hurt, and not be insured. If you can not be denied insurance, it makes sense to be uninsured for low cost until you need care, and insure at the point of service.
If Obamacare is a good idea, then (1) let it be voluntary for the rest of us and (2) let Obama be covered by it and (3) let us determine what our cost/coverage trade off will be.
In a free society, if you want to pay for another's health care, you will not be stopped.
