Two things, one fact, one opinion, about "Obamacare": [View all]

1. I just wrote the check for January's premium for what is essentially the SAME PLAN for my family and single coverage of two employees and it is $1500.00 less MONTHLY. So there.

2. When this starts to really take hold nationally, the RW will come out and bash Obama for having the temerity to name the plan after himself, when everyone "knows" that it was conceived as a Republican Plan and given full support by the Rethug-friendly insurance industry.
