My niece's reaction to having health insurance:

I just received the best present I've gotten in years!!… A BILL from my new HEALTH insurance company!
OMG... Isn't it wonderful!?
I can't believe that I have my OWN HEALTH INSURANCE, ... No, I am not hopeless, or alone! ... I finally have a future ....and will be healthy again!
Have you ever seen anything more BEAUTIFUL???

More access to health insurance but several are heading up "Death Panels".

So happy for your niece.

I celebrated the same thing with a friend of mine who hasn't had health insurance for 25 years, and he was teaching in the public schools.

Anyone reading this without health insurance --please sign up.

Several friends have proudly shown me their Medicaid cards.

It's such a huge relief. The only thing better is Medicare, that's what I have. It needs to be expanded also.

GOTV 2014!!

The main thing they promise to do if elected is to take away her health insurance.
