So I'm clear on this, you're now distancing yourself from The Great Society, right?

Can you read. Yes - and also take notice of what I read. - Unlike your teflon coated attention level. It was a conservative dem LBJ that started that war (and had lots of support form Republicans); A Dem. and liberals who fought against it and brought LBJ down. No, he brought himself down. I know you right wingers are not very good at these sort of distinctions. No, we stick to facts - and the truth. The liberals fighting LBJ split the party. But they brought him down in the end. No, he brought himself down. Do you really think LBJ was a liberal. He was a dem elected for by all voters from your beloved party. Forget dems and pubs and use liberal and conservative. Both parties have liberals and conservatives. Well the dems do.. Pubs purged all the liberals. LOL, get real! /Taro

A new survey confirms that Obamacare is most helping some of the very people it was designed to help: blacks, Hispanics and low-income Americans. The uninsured rate among blacks has tumbled 6.2 percentage points so far this year, according to a new Gallup poll, based on telephone interviews with 30,430 American adults from April 1 to May 31. The Hispanic uninsured rate fell 5.6 percentage points between the end of the year and the time of the survey. In contrast, the white uninsured rate fell 3 points. The uninsured rate is still higher for blacks and Hispanics than for whites. Even after the rollout of President Barack Obama's health-care reform law and Obamacare's first open-enrollment period, 14.7 percent of blacks and 33.1 percent of Hispanics remain uninsured. Nationally, that rate is 13.4 percent, according to Gallup, down from 17.1 percent at the end of last year.
