Sy Mukherjee of ThinkProgress caught up with Butch Matthews, a 61-year old former small business owner from Little Rock, Arkansas. Matthews, a diehard Republican, was skeptical of Obamacare. But the new law has already allowed him to buy insurance that is both much better, and much cheaper, than the astronomically expensive pre-Obamacare plan he was clinging to from Blue Cross Blue Shield. Matthews' old Blue Cross plan cost $1,069 a month and had a $10,000 deductible. The plan he just bought on the Arkansas state exchange has a $0 premium (after the government subsidy he gets because of his low income level) and only a $750 deductible. It's also a "Silver" plan, which has much better benefits than the vastly more expensive "Bronze" plan he ditched. Mukherjee asked Matthews whether he had any advice for fellow Republicans now that he has learned that Obamacare actually isn't that bad. Here's what he had to say: “I would tell them to learn more about it before they start talking bad about it,” he noted. “Be more informed, get more information, take your time and study and not just go by just what you hear on one side or the other. Actually check the facts on it.” “I still am a very strong Republican, but this… I’m so happy that this came along,” he continued. “Our home is paid for, vehicle’s paid for, this is our expense that we have. We have more expense on medical care than everything else put together, so this is going to be a great help for us.” So maybe Republicans can learn to love Obamacare? Maybe sooner rather than later? So we can get our government open again? Read more: businessinsider.com

The law, which the Supreme Court has determined to be revenue raising, did not originate in the House of Representatives as required by the Constitution. Gee, that's a point the SC missed when they made their ruling???? Have you told them of their error? The votes in the Senate were purchased with bribes and kickbacks, and a majority of the American public want it repealed, and the law has NEVER had popular support. The law was sold on the basis of a total pack of lies. The president himself has violated the law innumerable times by providing preferential waivers, ignoring the parts of the law he doesn't like, and delaying parts he realizes cannot be implemented. You are one effing, bitter, irrational, tea bagger.......you've lost and "lie-ala-node" is not going to change it....
