They changed how content is chosen to appear on their site. They are doing a google ad thing and the content that appears when you visit is personalized by and for you. When I go to yahoo I get a lot of football news on the page and I am not on their sports page. I didn't chose to have all the football stories, yahoo did by reading my cookies on places I have been. When I start looking at a lot of political stories, then visit yahoo there are now more political stories then football.

I hate it. I don't visit a information site to only get info on my hobbies. I go to see what is happening.

So, I guess that answers my question. I don't really think I read about ACA in the news, but I probably have clicked on their stories once or twice, so that's what the send me.

Thanks again!

It not only proves how "out of touch" that Yahoo is, but it proves that the ACA is good for the future,
