GFP Note: This is all crumbling, Illusion crumbles NOW, Love Wins! Always.

Let's celebrate,everybody! WOOO HOOO

Obamacare is a disaster! It's the worst thing to happen to the country since slavery! It will rape the future of our young people!  It will cause wives to leave husbands and husbands to marry their dogs! OK, I made up the dog part – but all the others are, sadly, 100 percent real statements made by right-wing extremists in the last few weeks.

Phil Sherburne and Leia Bell
This Utah family will pay just $123 a month to cover their family of five, despite a shoulder issue that had left Sherburne unable to get insurance before the Affordable Care Act went into effect. According to Sherburne (who is also a small business owner), the multiple efforts it took to get onto the federal exchange website were well worth it. "It's a great deal. I'm thrilled to have coverage, period," he said to the Salt Lake Tribune. "Once I got onto the site it took about an hour, start to finish."

Kendall Brown
This Oklahoma City resident, who suffers from Crohn's Disease, has already benefited once from the Affordable Care Act, which allowed her to stay on her parents' health insurance through age 26. After that, she was unable to find affordable insurance – forcing her to forgo treatment because she couldn't afford the out-of-pocket expenses.  She has now been able to enroll in the exchange, despite the pre-existing condition that previously caused her to be denied by every insurance company. In an open letter to Congress, Brown wrote, "[I]f you defund Obamacare, or delay it even for one year, as you are debating today, then this will be my last letter to you. I will be dead before my 27th birthday."

Obama cares but this is his holy grail

The cure for cancer, do you know about it ?
Cannabis oil! 34 studies have proven this, is that not enough, do you need 400 ? that's way more than dangerous killer deadly drugs need to be approved by the deception called the FDA

 

let me ask this, Mr Obama, what is stopping  you from getting on TV, talking about the benefits of medical marijuana,  being crafty to mention right away "Hey i'm not talking about smoking something, this plant can be juiced, it can be eaten, it can be cooked into foods, its the most versatile medicine and plant we have, it cures a huge number of illnesses , now that isn't me having just smoked up, I assure you I'm not making this up,  here's Sanjay Gupta, here's Rick Simpson, here's this study, here's that study, when we have a proven cure for cancer we really have to look at how misguided our war on drugs has been, we have focused primarily on a plant that can fix the many miseries of the human condition, and if  people should use it recreationally is so much more safe than alcohol, it even cures the hangover,  any way we look at it a brutal policy  of destroying lives and locking people up for using a medicine makes no sense. Its time to listen to the people and think about drug policy in a radically new way, i'm calling on congress to immediately end cannabis prohibition and jump-start the  hemp industry . "

 

 

see with medical marijauana used properly what   need of doctors do most humans have ? the list of things it will fully cure probably even that person's crohns disease is huge, not by smoking but by eating it each day,  and if its a dire illness, eating the powerful extracted oils.
