OlderMichelle Obama: US Health Care is Unacceptable
First Lady Michelle Obama attends an event discussing the need for health insurance reform and its impact on women and families on Friday (September 18) at the White House in Washington, D.C.
“The status quo is unacceptable,” Michelle said. “It is holding women and families back. [Women are] disproportionately affected by this issue because of the roles that we play in families. [And women] are more likely to work part-time, or to work in small companies or businesses that don’t provide any insurance at all.”
Other pictures include President Barack Obama and the First Lady at a ceremony to award the Medal of Honor posthumously to Sergeant First Class Jared C. Monti at the White House on September 17. Monti sacrificed his own life in an effort to save a injured comrade while on patrol in Afghanistan June 21, 2006.
Also pictured: Michelle visiting the opening of FRESHFARM’s newest farmers’ market on September 17. The idea to have a farmers market just a block from the White House came about from Michelle’s popular “White House Garden” that she started back in March. The garden has inspired people around the world to start growing their own produce and to start buying from the local farmers.
25+ pictures inside of Michelle Obama looking classy as ever…

Gosh I wish I had her height and brains! I love the first lady
JustJared why do you put “US Health Care is Unacceptable” as post title? This is not what Mrs Obama say…. Are you republican? lol
What is surpassing funny is to see the very people who would benefit from Obama’s proposals out in force to scream in opposition to them. Talk about deluded dupes (of the private health care insurance industry).
She seems like a lovely and caring person. Not afraid to get her hands dirty unlike the prissy and proper first ladies of the past.
she souds nice but she’s scary looking she’s looks like a witch
The First Lady need to adhere to the long held policy of only wearing solids.
Jackets and more tailored clothes also befit her new status.
Prints diminish her uniqueness, make her more difficult to be seen, and are too casual for state affairs.
Her position requires her to stand out, not bend into the crowd. As First Lady her job is to represent the Unitesd States, not her own taste in clothing.
Carla Bruni is a shining example of propriety in attire during official appearances.
why not offer free health care to everyone 18 & under? it could be used as a form of prevention in young people & hopefully catch small problems before they become major problems in adulthood.
@TIM GUNN:
carla bruni was an underwear model & she’s not a very bright woman.
She should defintely work out her ass. I have nothing against fat asses but her ass is just don’t right. She should better work out her ass and let the politcians do their job !!!!
And Carla Bruni is famous for her flings and only acting conservative for her conservative husband.
Anyway, she looks great, going to ignore this thread now before Rhonda Rashananana gets here.
US healthcare is the best in the world. That’s why people from all over the world come here for care, and US citizens never need to go elsewhere. If you get the government involved in the health care system it’s gonna go to heck in a handbasket just like the post office, DMV, and other government-run entities. Another teensy weensy problem: we’ll go even into more debt than we already are.
And how does someone’s clothing represent the US anyway, LOL? So when Mrs. Bush wore Oscar De La Renta or Chanel, a South American brand and French brand, she was representing the US? LOL, Isn’t it our policies? Oh Gunn…you’re off today.
anonymous is obviously underage and lacks real employment or hasn’t talked to a knowledgeable Republican, Democrat, Independent, economist or doctor–anyway, I’m out.
WHAT R U IDIOT ABOVE DISSING CARLA BRUNI. SHE HAS AN IQ OF 160 AND OTHER THAN THAT STUPID MICHELE FAT PIG SHE HAS SOME SENSE OF STYLE. NIKOLAS SARKOZY DIDN’T HAVE ANY LUCK WITH HIS FIRST WIFE CHEATING ON HIM AND NOW WITH CARLA THE FRENCHS ARE A HAPPIER NATION THAN EVER !!!
It’s about time the situation with the US health care industry was addressed. It’s appalling the way it’s weighted in favour of the rich and at the detritiment of the poor. Money should not be an issue in health care treatment. The NHS has problems, true, but only because greedy, lying politicians completely f***** it up..in general though the care received is good. My mum went private with her first heart op coz she could, at the time, afford too…her second heart op was done on the NHS and she received excellent treatment. If she were american, she’d have been a goner.
Go Michelle!
i THINK SHE LOOKS GREAT FOR HER AGE, PLS PEOPLE DO NOT FORGET THAT SHE A VERY YOUNG FIRST LADY.
GO MICHELLE !
How come Just Jared you didn’t show the bondage belt holding her boobs up picture?? notice you got the picture in but not the “full picture effect” picture. Kinda selective isn’t it?
The First Acorn is a total fraud, she had her law license suspended for “patient dumping” that is taking poor blacks out of the beautiful Univ Of Illinois hospital at Chicago and “dumping” them in Nation of Islam hospitals.
I know the public schools don’t really want kids to “educated” .studies show their are only 1 in 4 teens know that the first president of the United States was George Washington and the odds get even worse when they are asked to name all three branches of the US government. Its really sad, and doesn’t make for a very “educated” USA voter base. There are some Acorns that feel that you don’t really want people “to smart” you can watch the videos at big hollywood.com or big government.com Acorn-n-chief front line workers telling fake prositute and pimp not to “educate” their 13-15 years old, imported from a Latin american company (Acorn willing to help with travel for girls) sex slave girls, “don’t want them to smart”
Challenge: Chief Acorn and First Acorn are out telling sob stories of the US medical system: Challenge Please ask either Chief Acorn or First Acorn to tell sob story of DONTAE ADAMS and his MOTHER!
correction : that should read Latin American country not company!
Don’t think the facts are true! However, the healthcare system we have now is better than the one the government proposal! With the system they are talking about taxes will be higher and less health care!!!!!!!!!!
wow, she looks fabulous!!!!
I don’t know why you stupid Americans are so against health-care? Look how fat and unhealthy you are.
You guys are the ONLY western industrialized country without universal health care!! So backwards, and you wonder why your life expectancy in the United States is soooooooo low compared with other nations.
lmao, I live in Paris and WE SEE THE NEWS and it’s so embarrassing!! EVERYONE is laughing at America FIGHTING over HEALTH-CARE!!! PHYSICAL VIOLENCE, AND THOSE AMERICAN HILLBILLY’S PROTESTING.
Calling your president a Hitler because he wants people to have health care? I just realized yet again how DUMB OF A COUNTRY AMERICA IS.
….And then I checked the IQ of nations and SURPRISE !! AMERICA IS LIKE NUMBER 25. LMAO!!!! HAHAHAHAHAH
You guys deserve your misery!!!!
Is this a celebrity website or what? This site is getting old and tired. If I want to read about health care, I’ll go to Fox news.
she thinks she’s ALL that. Definitely no Jackie O!
@EUROPRINCESS: Well said girl, i’ve leave in some many rich country’s and i can say they all feel bad for all the americans, The nation with more obesity, and look at your economy.. is going down because you guys any know how to spend money that u dont have… so sad because america is an amazing country . sad
