Obamacare...who needs it!

• 11.3 million adults between the ages of 18-64 were self-employed and that 31% of them (3.5 Million!!!) did not have health insurance?
• 38.5 million of our fellow citizens between the ages of 55 and 64 and that 14%, or 5.4 million were uninsured?
• 27 million adults between the ages of 19 and 64  lived in a rural area and that 22% or 5.9 million of them did not have health insurance?     

These are not just numbers.  There is a name and a unique set of circumstances that goes along with their individual stories.  Unfortunately, the bulk of the attention on Obamacare over the past month has been the disasterous rollout of HealthCare.gov website.

Rather then focusing on fixing the problem, many wish to undermine the entire ACA, a piece of legislation that can do a lot of good for a lot of people. The folks at Newsbound have compiled an informative graphic presentation that explains the situation facing many of our fellow citizens. 

Watch the slideshow. 

The Kaiser Family Foundation focuses on health care policy in the United States and around the world.  Their research, contained in the Newshound slideshow, offers an excellent overview of why health care reform was needed and who stands to benefit from it.

Yes, there are problems with the ACA rollout.  Yes, promises that the President had no business making, were broken.  But the law needs a tune-up, not a trip to the junkyard.  Click on the link and learn the facts about the many ways this law can assist those who need it the most.  I'd love to hear what you think after you do.
