The right wing, led by the moral reprobates at Freedom Works are determined to sabotage enrollment in the Affordable Care Act. They are targeting 18- 34 year olds, the cohort most critical to the success of the ACA.
Fox News, we are being told in an excellent diary by Jon Perr is, as usual, substituting lies and distortion for fact.
As President Obama said yesterday at his news conference, there are 53 days left before the Health Insurance Exchanges open on October 1st. I'm reminding today myself why progressives, that means you and I, must organize to fight any effort to defund, destroy or otherwise tamper with Obamacare. The ACA is light years away from perfection, but it's what we have--today. It will assist many good, hard working Americans who are in desperate need of help
Powerful unions like National Nurses United and other progressive organizations are going to beat the drum--loudly, and remind Americans that those politicians who seek to defund Obamacare are the people who give themselves the best healthcare.
If you listen to these videos which I made during my visits to Free Health Clinics in 2009 during the height of the healthcare fight, it seems to me, you come to only one conclusion, Obamacare is for the 99%.
The people here describe the barbaric depravity of American healthcare that we hope and expect will go away come January 1st. It is sobering to listen to these fine people describe the toxic waste dump of the pre-Obamacare U.S. healthcare system.
Most of all, we hope that more people like Karen Black will not die because they don't have funds for treatment.
