What happened?

I remember fighting so hard against * the warmonger.
I remember hoping for someone better.

That Obama guy got a bill passed, warts and all. A bill to help so many people, for so many reasons.

I have had more conversations about this Obamacare bill in the last couple of days, everyone I know is excited about it, even people who I never talk politics with.


Even in early stages, sounds life-affirming!

Even living in a R-leaning area, in a workplace dominated by hate-radio-listening co-workers and customers, there hasn't been substantial problems. Our boss has healthcare for his family but hasn't ever been able to afford it for the workers; today I suggested we could look into the business plans available, as he may well be able to insure our whole group (including his family) and actually reduce his overall expenses...instead of rejection, he said that would be great if it worked out.

Probably I'll get some quotes and options next month, when things have settled in a bit. It would be the height of irony if a big chunk of our Obama-hating community wound up embracing Obamacare, but that's looking like a possibility.
