He waited till the last minute, but my 29 year old son stood in line for hours at the Columbia SC library to finish his enrollment.
In a front page story they mention several people who were there and signing up. His is the last paragraph. To paraphrase:
(name), 29, said he had been without health insurance for 4 years since he cut his work hours to go back to college."I haven't been sick in that time, but it sure feels good to know I can see a Doctor now if I need to."
He's paying $189/month, $10 generic scrips even though he takes nothing now, and he will go to the dentist for the first time in years.
Republicans: please, please run against Obamacare in the next election.

More important is that your son actually gets out and VOTES his wallet on Election day!
He waited to sign up at the last minute. "Waiting until the last minute" is not enough.
