What's the impact of Obamacare for you (and your family)? Assuming it doesn't get defunded or delayed, of course...

I live in a state that's embracing Obamacare and it looks like I'm set for cheaper and/or better healthcare.

I don't know if it's monthly, doesn't have a date on it other than my birth year.  Laminated that bitch with my niece's Fisher-Price laminating machine, though.

Ohio, for some reason, sends its Medicaid peeps a paper card each month. Seems like a waste of postage.

Probably to make sure they always have one, since it's probably a right bitch to try to get a replacement.

I really want a WIC card, but alas.  :mad:  ALL THAT DISCOUNTED MILK

First thing I'm going to do with it, I'm going to get me some methadone down at the clinic.  First round's on derfetus.

Public Sector Cuts Part-Time Shifts to Duck Insurance Law

'Cities, counties, public schools and community colleges around the country have limited or reduced the work hours of part-time employees to avoid having to provide them with health insurance under the Affordable Care Act.
...
Among those whose hours have been restricted in recent months are police dispatchers, prison guards, substitute teachers, bus drivers, athletic coaches, school custodians, cafeteria workers and part-time professors.

Mark D. Benigni, the superintendent of schools in Meriden, Connecticut, and a board member of the American Association of School Administrators, said in an interview that the new health care law was having “unintended consequences for school systems across the nation.”

Quote"Are we supposed to lay off full-time teachers so that we can provide insurance coverage to part-time employees?" Mr. Benigni asked.

And we still haven't gotten lebensraum; our Hitlers are just cheap imposters.   :(

There was a gun show a couple weeks ago at the civic center here.  As usual it was packed and as usual there were political fanatics in the parking lot.  This time they had "Impeach Obama! Stop World War III!" placards.  I'm still puzzled as to how making Biden president would make World War III less likely.  He seems like he'd be willing to use nukes to keep kids off his lawn, given the opportunity.

In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock
