I'm very skeptical about the effectiveness and long-term benefits of the healthcare system put in place by the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare). However, I'm not going to join in with the people who are proclaiming that Obamacare doesn't work because they've visited HealthCare.gov, poked around for a bit, and found busted web sites.It's the first day of production operation … [Read more...] about Obamacare Day One Doesn’t Matter
