Obamacare: With Knowledge Comes Power

     My buddy and one of my favorite Diary of a Republican Hater readers, Shelly, asked me to post this link.

     It's a great resource for people who want the real facts about the Affordable Care Act. This is important as there is so much misinformation out there.

    As a personal aside, I did mention this in a previous post, but my parents-who are upper middle class so this is not just for "welfare queens"-now are getting the use of a very good health care clinic and gym here on Long Island totally free of charge thanks to Obamacare-now that ACA's won I delight in calling it Obamacare as it was the Repugs who insisted on giving him total ownership. Now that he has it we can enjoy and should use the word Obamacare in every conversation-well that's my plan anyway! LOL

    The reason my rents get this is because ACA covers preventive medicine and measures too. So the positive effects are beginning to show now. Quoting from Shelly's link from healthcare.gov:

    "Today's decision was a victory for people all over the country whose
lives will be more secure because of this law and the Supreme Court
decision to uphold it." - President Obama


     "The Affordable Care Act was signed into law more than two years ago and the
health care law is making a difference in the lives of millions of people like you."
      Everyone who wants the real facts on it should look here. It enables you to also tailor a search state by state to see what it means for you. It takes you through picking a plan and pricing-very user friendly and simple.
       It runs you through getting help if you have a preexisting condition or need to keep a child on your plan till they're 26, etc.
     I gotta say I feel better than ever about my country than ever this 4th.
