24. "The exchange"

Notice that he did not say that he would be going on Obamacare. Lord, he couldn't have used that word. And since so many people do not know that "the ACA" is the same as "Obamacare", I am sure that he chose his words carefully.

I have to wonder why they would not keep his wife's health insurance through COBRA. Maybe he doesn't know about that.
