This is good news. People are now able to afford and purchase their very own private health care, thanks to Obamacare, and because of this, free clinics are finally shutting down.
Said Stacey Bowser RN, Director of one of these clinics.
“Because people are qualifying for insurance coverage through the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, our free medical clinic will not be needed anymore. We’ve gone from seeing around 300 people a month on a regular basis, but as people were enrolling in Obamacare, the numbers we were seeing have dropped. We were down to 80 people that came through the medical clinic in February, all the way down to three people at the medical clinic in March. Our services won’t be needed anymore, and this will conclude our mission.”
Free clinics were started to help people get some sort of health care. And there are many testimonials online from thankful Americans, some owing their lives to people like Stacey Bowser. Obamacare however, is putting these Americans in control of their of their own health, some for the first time, and that’s always a good thing.
Family Values… Republican style. As long as the woman looses her job, then all is well in the universe and the show will go on.
Vance McAllister, the married Republican congressman who was caught kissing a married woman – married to another man that is – is trying to put the incident behind him and seems to be looking forward to the next election.
Meanwhile, the woman he was kissing lost her job and probably her marriage.
Nothing to see here, except a VanceForCongress lawn sign!
“Well that was a surprise!”
That was how Rachel maddow started her segment about the resignation of HHS Secretary, Kathleen Sebelius. Maddow went on saying that the administration finally got some good news about Obamacare since the website debacle back in October, and she found it strange that they decided to accept Sebelius’ resignation now.
Accepting the resignation Maddow said, turned the story of the successful Obamacare enrollment figures into “a story instead about firing people.”
“Kathleen Sebelius has to go? Why now? Because the administration can’t resist stepping on its own tail and turning the first good news cycle they have had about Obamacare since it passed into a story instead about firing people for Obamacare’s failures?”
Maddow concluded by comparing the administration’s acceptance of Sebelius’ resignation to a team that began the season playing badly, then eventually winning the championship and in the middle of their celebration, they fire their coach.

Remember the ad where a Republican running for office took a gun an shot at a stack of papers he called Obamacare? As if shooting at the papers would magically make the law they hate disappear.
Well Jon Stewart took this ad and its underlining meaning to its logical conclusion – a hypothetical that spilling coffee on the 13th Amendment would reinstate slavery.
“Oh my God I spilled coffee on the 13th amendment. Black people are slaves again,” Stewart said.
A great way for Stewart to show the waste of brain matter when it comes to Republicans and their approach to thinking.
Stating that we’ve probably seen the limits of the Republican hate to Obamacare with their shooting ads, Stewart then shows just how far these Republicans could go.
Please, don’t give em any ideas.
President Obama flew to Texas to herald the “winds of change” that blew through the 1960s — but first, he had to protect First Lady Michelle Obama from a stiff breeze on the tarmac.
Arriving in Austin aboard Air Force One, the president and Mrs. Obama walked down the stairway as a gust threatened to give the first lady an awkward Marilyn Monroe moment.
The wind lifted the first lady’s pleated skirt “enough, above the knee, for the president to reach over and hold it down” to avert an incident, according to a pool reporter who was there.
The first couple laughed at the flap as they walked down the stairs.
