Attending an ACA sign-up event at a local hospital today.

7. worked sign up day in my ward today.

we have done a lot around this issue, back to forums before the law was passed.
i think this was our 4th, and we are also working tomorrow and monday.
it has been great helping people, we have signed up a few hundred. my hood is heavily populated with self-employed creatives, so it is really important to us right here on the ground.


the occasional obamacare troll crawling out of the woodwork is a pain, tho. i was just working a table, having people fill out a little info for followups, and give them a number and send them to wait. well, this guy was not happy to be there, and didn't want to fill it out. he just wanted to ask a couple question he said.
he started arguing with me. he kinda caught me off guard. i guess i raised my voice, he stomped out.
the other volunteer got upset with me, couldn't come up with a clue as to what i SHOULD have said to him. we really weren't set up to just let someone walk up and answer questions, and we were told to fill out the forms for contract purposes.
so…..

even in the bluest of the blue places, there are rw assholes.
