|
| 7/8/2013 - Even before it is fully implemented, Obamacare is already starting to self-destruct.

|

|
| 4/3/2013 - The American people are barely putting up a fight as they relinquish what little health freedoms they have left in exchange for Obamacare, the multi-billion dollar sick care travesty that will eliminate freedom of choice in health care.
