Test your knowledge — and for every correct answer you give, 10 cents will be donated to Planned Parenthood. Obamacare’s opponents are counting on people not understanding the Affordable Care Act and everything it has to offer. But those who know all the good Obamacare will do are smarter than that. Here’s your chance to prove it. Planned Parenthood put […]

It’s just like ACORN!!! Anti-Obama(care) types are appoplectic about the fact that the forms that people fill out to sign up for health insurance coverage under the Affordable Care Act will also allow you to register to vote. “We all knew that it was transparent that Obamacare was just another vehicle to recruit the next generation of Democrats. Now that […]

The third in a series of posts intended to educate and inform. Why was U.S. Senator Ted Cruz reading Dr. Seuss on the Senate floor when talking about healthcare in America? Probably because there’s a good chance he wouldn’t like what real medical professionals have to say in support of Obamacare. I know, I promised to stick to the facts. […]

The second in a series of posts about the Affordable Care Act, sharing info everyone needs to know. Healthcare is complex. Laws can be confusing. Put the two together, mix in some good old-fashioned misinformation being spread by Obamacare’s opponents and … voila! Complications ensue. But, really, the benefits of Obamacare are pretty straightforward. And they’re pretty cool. Maybe you’re […]

People have questions. We’ve got answers. The first in a series of posts with need-to-know info. Here at Eclectablog, we’ve been spreading the word about the Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare, since day one. We’ve been dispelling myths, telling the truth and providing insight into the political games that could have a direct impact on people’s lives. Because no matter […]

If only we could have a big election or something to decide if we wanted Obamacare. On Friday, House Republicans voted to embrace a strategy that ties “defunding Obamacare” to keeping the government open, a position embraced by about 27 percent of the population. They’re denying it publicly but what’s obvious is that for the strategy the GOP is embracing […]

Whassa matter, Tim. Embarrassed by your own vote? This is rich. Republican Tim Walberg joined the rest of the insane clown posse that is today’s tea party caucus in Congress in defunding Obamacare then has the audacity to call it voting “to keep government open”. Here’s the email: What an ass. Clearly not too proud of that vote or at […]

The GOP: Willing to risk your job and your retirement to make sure you don’t get health insurance. First of all, let’s be honest about what the “Defund Obamacare” wing of the GOP is doing. They lost the 2012 election, which was in large part part about Obamacare, and in protest of that election they’re threatening a depression if the […]

It’s a great deal. But it could have been even better. Don’t get me wrong. I’m elated that Medicaid expansion is finally the law in Michigan after an official signing ceremony with Governor Rick Snyder today. I just wish the actual benefits would start sooner. The good news is that nearly half a million Michigan residents will now have access […]

Maybe they just have trouble with math? The GOP has taken a new tack in its endless and expensive effort to derail the Affordable Care Act. Recently they have been sending out an email that says, “Since President Obama took office, the average family has seen their health care premiums increase by $3,500 a year…ObamaCare enrollment doesn’t start until October […]

“Compassionate conservatism” my ass As Republicans in Congress waste valuable time and money trying to gut the Affordable Care Act (ACA), even as our country is about to default on its debts, Florida has found a new way to screw poor people without health care insurance. The federal government is funding groups called “Navigators” to help guide people through the […]
