The affordable care act....

So, with Romney now a footnote in history and the Democrats still in control of the Senate, there is now no real danger that the affordable care act (aka Obamacare) will not be implemented. By the time of the next midterms, major portions will have gone into effect like the state by state private exchanges that are supposed to be up and functioning by the first of 2014.

Finally, we're going to see this country coming much closer to universal coverage and as someone who spent a chunk for my 30's and early 40's uncovered, despite being a health care provider myself, it's something I cannot wait to see happen.

Yay!

If not for Obamacare, I probably wouldn't have insurance right now.

I find it amusing that it's starting to look like a term the wingnuts intended to be disparaging ("Obamacare") might wind up being a term of endearment - and ensure that this president is remembered - along the lines of FDR for the "New Deal" - LONG after Romney is indeed nothing more than a trivial footnote.
