Healthcare.gov


Remember this web address https://www.healthcare.gov/
for information about the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and the upcoming healthcare exchanges.  
The Republicans are lying so heavily and blatantly about "Obamacare" that it's no wonder there is confusion and antipathy about the program.

"EVERYONE WILL LOSE THEIR HEALTHCARE!!" they scream, which is so easily disproved, I'm a little surprised they keep saying it.  They must REALLY think that their constituents are stupid and too lazy to think for themselves.  

(you might need to click on this one to read all of it)


If I continue my employer-subsidized healthcare insurance, I won't be eligible for a subsidy for the healthcare exchanges.


Texas continues to disgrace itself by refusing to participate in the healthcare exchanges and refusing to expand Medicare.  I hope some of Texas' financially-struggling Republicans (and there are many) will figure out that Republicans in the Texas legislature are working against their interests before it's too late.  Everybody deserves good healthcare.  Even Republicans.  Even Republicans who mindlessly hate Obama (because FOX told them to).


If you haven't already, you can sign up on healthcare.gov now and receive updates as to the implementation of the online exchanges which are set to open Oct. 1. You cannot purchase insurance just yet, but you can set up a User ID and password at this time.
