After all, Obama ran for president after only (less then!) one term in the Senate.
Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush – the younger brother of the president –

Martinez.
And, United HealthCare, one of the major insurers with a reputation for doing what they can to avoid paying claims, have found a way to make money off you without actually giving you a health policy. In a move reminiscent of the creation of hedge funds and credit default swaps, United HealthCare is now offering a policy which insures your ability to get a health policy at some time in the future. As long as you're not sick.
People who are already sick will generally not be eligible for the new
product. Those who do pass a medical review, will pay 20 percent each
month of the current premium on an individual policy to reserve the
right to be insured under the plan at some point in the future.
