Barrack Obama is presently the President of the United States of America. He was born in August 4, 1961 in Honolulu, Hawaii. He is married to Michelle Obama and they have two daughters together, namely, Malia and Sasha Obama. Barrack Obama is the very first African American to occupy the presidential seat after his forty three predecessors.   

Obama’s profile is an exceptional one. His educational background features the University of Columbia from where he graduated. He is also a graduate of Harvard University where he obtained his degree in Law. Obama has also worked as an attorney in civil rights cases. On top of that, he lectured law at the University of Chicago, Law School for about fourteen years.

As a representative of the 13thDistrict, Barrack Obama served a commendable three-term period in office in the state of Illinois. He also ran for the United States House of Representatives seat for Illinois but was unsuccessful. When he contested for the presidential seat after his party nomination in 2007, Obama defeated the Republican hopeful, John McCain. 

He was announced the President of the United States of America in 2008.The current president has received a lot or recognition from the initiatives he has started along his career path. Among the most popular, is the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize awarded to him. 

Barrack Obama is currently pursuing another term in office come the next presidential election. Above all, Obama jokes so many times; he is also known for his funny speeches.

The Obama Health Plan is a health care reform which was initiated by the United States president, Barrack Obama. The bill is intended to cover the health of many Americans whose health has not been covered in the current plan. Dubbed the ‘Obamacare health plan’, the plan will take care of the treatment expenses of Americans who do not have health insurance. Actually, the plan was dubbed this name from the usual as Obama jokes a lot during his speeches.

The bill, if in force, will make changes to the current system of acquiring health care insurance. It means that one can decide to opt for private health insurance instead of buying one from a specified insurance provider. There are a number of ways in which the Obamacare will be paid. One of them is through cuts on the budget and another is through taxes. The tax rates depend on how much one earns so that the more your income is, the more tax you will pay towards Obamaccare. Instead of being confined to a specific insurance provider, families will get the opportunity to buy insurance from providers with a competitive platform. This will encourage providers to bid and hence the provision of insurance at an affordable rate. The health plan has been slated for ten years and even though the estimated amount of money intended for it is a lot, it is actually a saving mechanism for the nation in the future.
