'Is this a joke?' President of Iran floats teaser for #RouhaniCare

Posted at 5:19 pm on February 5, 2014 by Doug P.

Is mockery the sincerest form of flattery? Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani poked fun at Obamacare today:

Gov will extend medical insurance to all Iranians. First step will be to cover 5mn uninsured Iranians by the social safety net #RouhaniCare
— Hassan Rouhani (@HassanRouhani) February 5, 2014

We’ll now wait for a follow up “if you like your plan your can keep it” tweet from Rouhani.

Twitter users had a field day with it:

If you like your nuclear program, you can keep it! #RouhaniCare
