Doesn't is bode poorly for the people when four of them fail when the year is barely half-out, forcing them into new coverage where there deductibles start all over again?

"It should be a scandal to every American."
He called the behavior of Planned Parenthood employees "abhorrent," and characterized the latest video as evidence that employees were willing to assist pimps in securing secret abortions, STD testing and contraception for child prostitutes. less

Stein, whose career also includes stints as an attorney, actor and game show host, said Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders' proposed universal health care proposal was well-intentioned. Stein recalled writing a memo in the Nixon administration advocating similar goals.
