Imagine the distress that Denise Ybarra, a pediatric health care worker, felt when her husband lost his job and they questioned whether their 16-year-old daughter, diagnosed with T-cell leukemia 10 years earlier, would be denied health insurance because of her previous medical condition.
Thanks to the Affordable Care Act, mothers like McClenty and Ybarra don't have to fear for the health of their children. They can look forward to benefits of the law that will extend help to millions more women, children, young adults and seniors if it's upheld by the Supreme Court this month.
regardless of race or ethnicity, however, nearly one in two Americans does not know the facts about how the health care law works or how they can get better care under the health care law. Since the Affordable Care Act went into effect in 2010, millions of families have gained access to quality, affordable health care and the financial security that it brings in tough economic times. By 2014 the health care law will extend coverage to the majority of Americans who are uninsured.
the right wing politicians appeasing ins co. and other big business are the one's to thank for this disparagement in those who know and those who don't. typical misleading and really more to blame is this admin, they should have been out there disavowing every freakin syllable of their propaganda machine. lock step and repetitiveness is their winning strategy as it has fraudulently convinced some progressive's. powerful tool in it's simplicity, GW Bush, "you can fool some of the people all of the time and those are the one's you want to concentrate on", it works.
i think most decrier's of the plan don't know what it is this includes right wing politicians even the one's who already use it, they complain about the number of pages that tells us they didn't read it mostly because it was agreed that they would not pass it anyway, so why waste their payed for by "we the people's" tax payments. the milking of us for them doing nothing but frivolous bills no one cares about but one of their briber's and taking more breaks then deserved, how hard is it, wait might be hard i mean screwing the US population can break a sweat.
