It’s just like ACORN!!! Anti-Obama(care) types are appoplectic about the fact that the forms that people fill out to sign up for health insurance coverage under the Affordable Care Act will also allow you to register to vote. “We all knew that it was transparent that Obamacare was just another vehicle to recruit the next generation of Democrats. Now that […]

The third in a series of posts intended to educate and inform. Why was U.S. Senator Ted Cruz reading Dr. Seuss on the Senate floor when talking about healthcare in America?

The federal government is funding groups called “Navigators” to help guide people through the […]

Children, may I please have your attention? Today House Republicans tried for the 41st time to dismantle the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Dean of the House John Dingell, someone I am proud to call a friend, stood up and proceeded to dress down the anti-Obama tea party freaks that have come to dominate the Republican Party. He was addressing them […]

While anti-Obamacare crusaders stoop increasingly lower, the law’s supporters are making sure people know the facts. I don’t think I really need to tell you just how ridiculous the failed attempts to repeal, defund or sabotage Obamacare are. After all, it’s been all over the news.
