Working long hours tends to put a strain on the immune system, and President Obama will need an annual flu shot to stay healthy during flu season--after all, the president can't call in sick to work, can he? He'll also need regular physicals and checkups for him, his wife and his two daughters, which can get pricey without health insurance.

He may even need some grief counseling to deal with chronic stress at work. After all, fixing the housing crisis, solving America's energy problems and rebuilding the global economy isn't the easiest juggling act in the world.

He smokes, which could significantly impact his health, so he'll require frequent checkups (and possibly even health insurance coverage that will cover stop-smoking aids such as nicotine gum).

But he does take steps to keep healthy. He rarely goes a day without making time for exercise--especially basketball. White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs says there are very few days he doesn't see President Obama holding a basketball at some point. Mr. Obama even made a game of basketball an Election Day ritual in order to work up a sweat and reduce stress.

President Obama has to foot the health insurance bill for himself, his wife and two young daughters in a time when health care costs are spiraling out of control; it's no wonder he's on a crusade to lower health care costs in America!
