Filed Under Health Care, Politics | 8 Comments

Well, at least somebody is happy about it: If prostitutes end up being the only people helped by the law, it’ll be a little maddening that taxpayers are shelling out billions of dollars just to make sure Charlie Sheen doesn’t get the clap. Again.

Filed Under Health Care, Politics | 10 Comments

An Obamacare “navigator” who works in Colorado was asked how many people she’s signed up for “affordable” care. Her answer: “So far, no one.
