Obamacare (part of my chronic illness series)


You can start signing up for Obamacare today at https://www.healthcare.gov. Despite the government shutdown, this site is active, at least for now.

If you are opposed to Obamacare for some reason, please read this blogpost by writer Kameron Hurley: http://www.kameronhurley.com/?p=13291. Before Obamacare, and without Obamacare, something similar could happen to you or someone in your family or one of your friends.

Here's another great post on the subject, from Toby Buckell:

And what makes this whole fuss even more ridiculous is that "Obamacare" is, at its base, the health care plan the Republicans came up with as an alternative to Hilary Clinton's plan in the 90s. Only now that Obama is the one pushing it, the Republicans have never heard of it. [eyeroll]
