"Red" State Gobbling Up 'Bama Care

http://tv.msnbc.com/2013/10/12/so-it...ant-obamacare/



Maybe if Obama looked like a Marlboro Man the fuss would have never happened.

Most of the Kentucky state government is Democratic. Their governor embraced Obamacare instead of putting up roadblocks.

1000 sign ups a day.

Quote from the article mentioned in the OP:

This past week, at least 8,500 in Kentucky signed up for the approximately 60 healthcare plans available on the state exchange; 240 small businesses had enrolled to give their staff healthcare through Obamacare; another 7000 applications have been started, but not yet submitted.

“Our state’s U.S. senators are simply ignoring the facts when they continue to insist that ‘no one’ in Kentucky wants the Affordable Care Act,” Democratic Gov. Steve Beshear told MSNBC.

It is a shame that they still won't stop spreading the lies. I realize that Humana does own McConnell but the fight against it is all over and it is time to move on. Lives are being saved here, get on board or get out of the way.
I saw a picture of one of the kiosks that they put in a mall, pretty slick.

"Kynect is noticeably absent of all mentions of Obamacare and some reporters have even found Kentuckians embracing Kynect while dismissing Obamacare."

The media and the administration aren't helping by embracing the derogatory term Obamacare that the wingnuts came up with and no one is pointing the finger squarely at the Republican governors who have refused to set up their own websites. California has signed up 28,000 and New York is at 40,000.

Once people actually see a doctor for stuff as small but necessary as pre-cancer screenings it will catch on like wild fire. Nothing like taking an infant to a doctor for a well-baby check up either.

You know Medicare and the ACA can be seen as two pillars of a health care system supporting the other.
