Special request this week, for Christina, from Christina. Tell me about this Obamacare, you wrote. Here is some info to tell:
Obamacare in a nutshell:
A pretty simple "all about" page. If you feel like you missed something this week, note the "if you already have insurance, you can keep it if..." section. This is what the most recent scandal is all about. I am trying to show you both sides, but you know I am biased. (If you don't want to read that whole last link, here is my favorite quote: If we want to play Fox News, President Obama also promised people they could keep their doctor. Since 2010 tens of thousands of doctors have retired or even died. Guess the pledge that people could keep their doctor was yet another lie from the Obama administration.)
In order to keep an unbiased feel, here is an image that I took from some jerk's blog:
Want a longer guide? This one has sections and chapters! My money says you aren't going to read it!
In other news:
There are two other subjects that will come up in your life that you should be able to talk about. One is, of course, the typhoon in the Philippines. We are starting a coin drive at our school, so I have kid friendly talking points if anyone needs them. This is bringing up a lot of talk regarding climate change. Did you see this video of the Filipino negotiator at the UN conference on climate change in 2012? Heartbreaking. And this happened today in the midwest.
Also, have you heard about this tragic story? My friend from college published this terribly sad account. Don't read the comments! Too depressing-- Want to make light of it? Here you go.
