Today, a coworker who is a conservative Republican came to me about a concern about his daughter possibly losing her job. She has cancer and he is afraid she will be denied insurance when she gets another job or tries to get her own insurance. I printed up a fact sheet that showed because of the ACA, she can't be denied coverage or charged higher prices for premiums.

Him: "But they're about to overturn that, aren't they?"
Me: "No, Obama and the Senate won't let that happen."
Him: "Good. Well, thanks. That's a load off my mind."

Because my grown kids, wife, and I already each have excellent insurance coverage, I haven't been been paying much attention to the bruhaha. This was my first experience with recent events. I'm glad it is going to take care of his daughter, even though he has been against it from the beginning.

I'm convinced a lot of people are going to find out they like it once they get to know it. There is a popular jpg floating around Facebook of the curmudgeon in Green Eggs and Ham about to finally take a bite of the egg with the caption "I do not like it here or there, I do not like Obamacare".

Only they forget how that story ends. After he takes that bite, he finishes up by saying, "I do so like green eggs and ham. Thank you. Thank you, Sam I Am."

Not only is their little picture likely true in the present sense, it is also quite prophetic.
