Obama goes for 'bronze' in symbolic health insurance signup

By Ros Krasny and Suzanne Roig HONOLULU (Reuters) - U.S. President Barack Obama enrolled in a less expensive option offered by his healthcare reform plan in a show of support for the law before a signup deadline Monday, the White House said. Obama chose an individual "bronze" plan on the Washington, D.C., exchange, at a cost of less than $400 a month - a bargain for a man who earns $400,000 a year running the United States. Obama will pay the monthly premiums, a spokesman said. But, like other U.S. presidents, he will continue to receive health care from the military, and has a personal physician for himself and his immediate family.
