5. I was pleasantly surprised at the Obama Care benefits during my check-ups

I have a $1,000 deductible (the first $600 is picked up by the employer). As it turned out, for the first time, all the preventive portion of the check up was covered by the Ins. Co. without being applied to my deductible. It cost me nothing to have blood tests, a colostomy and many other preventive visits. I was astonished that it didn't even exceed the $600.

Thank you, Mr. President
