I thought we were guaranteed EQUAL protection under the law! Apparently not...

From what I understand, ANYONE who already has an existing plan that they are satisfied with, get to keep their plan. Talking bad towards union workers who have negotiated their plans with the companies for which they work is pure right-wing propaganda, and a direct assault on the middle-class worker. At present, there are millions that have gotten medical insurance that were uninsured before because of the policies of big business and the AMA. They milked the little guy like those who work in the force that keeps America moving, since I have been born and before that. I am 65. It's about time things were turned around so that if normal people suffer a medical setback, he or she is not in danger of losing all that they have to the hands of the rich and powerful. What is funny about the whole thing is, the rich and powerful, who despise the ACA cutting into their huge profits, have convinced the poor folks in the Republican states to vote against their own best interest and most of the poor that oppose the ACA, have nothing better in place. So sad...

Everyone in Ohio is exempt. Ohio law. I emailed Obozo and, like all of the above, I declared myself exempt.

I beg to differ. I don't know where the above information was obtained, but I am glad to say that the great State of Ohio has Obamacare and there are many signups to the new insurance program. I just read a story from the Daily Kos about a couple, from OHIO, that had an insurance plan that would not cover a husbands' pre-existing condition under a policy that was charging more than one using ACA with full coverage of the same condition. The couple has changed their tune about what the ACA is doing for them and others who need medical assistance in this country. Go to Daily Kos and check it out. The above message appears to be legally intimidating but it would appear that the formidable sounding language is just so much bamboozlement for the readers of this site. It sure sounds impressive to those who are unaware of the difference.
