Joke of the Day: Affordable Healthcare
Obama: "We fumbled the roll out on this healthcare law" pic.twitter.com/6eEMxtWts7 — ABC News (@ABC) November 14, 2013 I’ve avoided any commentary on the Affordable Care Act mainly because I don’t quite understand the nuances that are supposed to be the keys to the whole system.
