Of course somebody get paid Walter, ads are the only growth industry in the US, without that the unemployed rate for work aged people would be over 40% rather than the 39.999% that it is at

Watch: ‘Extra’ Anchor Explains How Obamacare Saved His Life, Thanks Obama


Watch: ‘Extra’ Anchor Explains How Obamacare Saved His Life, Thanks Obama |



In this segment, Jerry Penacoli, a correspondent on the Extra TV show, details how he almost lost his life battling cancer after he reached his lifetime cap on his health insurance coverage, but was able to afford treatment through Obamacare, since the landmark reform removed lifetime coverage caps for good. He sits down with the President to express his gratitude. “You pretty much saved my finances and my life” says Penacoli.

The President congratulates him on his perseverance: “I’ve heard the story of you battling courageously against your illness, and one of the goals of the ACA was not just to help people get insurance when they didn’t have it but to give better protections to people who already had it.”

Penacoli thanks him effusively: “This has nothing to do with politics, I just want you to know it made a difference in my life.”

Afterwards, Penacoli sits down with the Reverend Al Sharpton to discuss his experiences with Obamacare, the difficulties of his disease, the positive impacts the law has had for the American population, and question why the law is so polarizing- “it’s a moral issue, as far as I’m concerned.”

Not surprised. They upheld it last time.


Funny thing is you probably think this ruling is the end all to be all.

I wonder why you came to this thread to post this instead of trying to defend your asinine post in the other thread.
Because they're two completely different things. Gopher said nothing at all about this being the end of the Obamacare dispute, you made that crap up entirely in your head and claimed he was saying it. That's what made your post stupid.

As to the other, debating the rightness or wrongness of Christianity or Islam with you would be like debating race relations with Dylann Roof, so I don't bother.

Go Pats!

I answered his question then added an opinion.

You're just POed because you made a ridiculous assertion on another thread and got called out on it.

What another stupid thing to say.


Go Pats!

Charlie Rose was interviewing some law commentator and he said this would likely be the final challenge the USSC will hear on ACA. This because, as you said, it has been upheld twice and that generally settles the issue.

Note the Court's writing which indicates its legal validity is based upon the legality and the success of Massachusetts law {Romneycare} which we have discussed previously. With that success, legality based on precedent, and with the Court's conclusive action in hearing two such contests, the case against ACA is or should be closed.

But we shall see ....

Re: Smile! You’ve Got Successful Healthcare!

the numbers are looking better every time:


Obamacare Is a Success, Researchers Say



Obamacare Is a Success, Researchers Say ...
The Affordable Care Act appears to be positively affecting the health of a nation, a new study concludes.

A study released Tuesday in the Journal of the American Medical Association says that after two open enrollment sessions more than half a million adults report “significant” improvements in affordable health insurance, access to doctors and medications, and overall personal health.

In addition, people with chronic medical conditions reported overall improvements in health and functioning, a potential benefit from expanded health insurance and policy changes, researchers say.



more ...


undeniable patriotic success - thank you President Obama

Smile! At the rate that you are going, your health care system might catch up to that of the rest of the developed world sometime over the next century. It will take a real effort on your part, though as the political will to do so is nowhere to be seen.
