Had a talk with a Right Wing friend today about Obama Care.....

28. OMG, my uninsured brother will have free health coverage in 2014!!!!!!!

Thanks so much for the link. It was WAY better than I thought. My brother, who is much too young for medicare, has never had health insurance his entire adult life. He has a pre-existing condition that lands him in the emergency room a few times a year. Eventually, if he continues to ignore it, it will kill him...years before he reaches 65 and is eligible for medicare.

But that AWESOME link you provided just told me that because he makes just under 15,000 a year, he will be eligible for medicaid. Up to now, the state of CA has denied him medicaid because his pathetic low wage job is too much money to qualify for the current criteria for medicaid, particularly for a single male. In fact, they basically told him an able-bodied working male without dependants can't get medicaid. The ACA completely turns that around.

I am sooooo happy. I was worried how he was going to pay for the insurance in 2014, even if at a subsidized premium, since he makes barely enough to feed himself and pay rent.

You made my day, elleng!!!!!!
