The Affordable Care Act in Washington State - Why we need it more than ever

Over 1 million Washingtonians have no health insurance, and unfortunately, Obamacare is their only realistic hope for getting coverage. Millions more will see real benefit from important consumer protections built into the law. That is the conclusion of an important new report just released by Mike Kreidler, the Washington state Insurance Commissioner.

As the graph above shows, the lower your income, the less likely you are to have health insurance. People without insurance in Washington State are usually working, but simply earn too little to afford the medical coverage they need, even when working full time. Their employment is the gateway to their poverty, instead of a way to earn their way out. That is why medical coverage must eventually be decoupled from employment status.

Read the report itself for a county by county breakdown of what we will lose if the Affordable Care Act goes away.

Hadn't heard that phrase before: "decoupling healthcare from employment status." A radical concept...disconnecting these two that should never have been together in the first place...

I think everything posted made a bunch of sense. However, what about this?
what if you typed a catchier post title? I mean, I don't wish to tell you how to run your website, however what if you added something to possibly grab people's attention?
I mean "The Affordable Care Act in Washington State - Why we need it more than ever" is a little boring.

You might look at Yahoo's home page and see how they create post titles to get people to open the links. You might add a related video or a picture or two to grab people interested about everything've written.
Just my opinion, it would bring your posts a little bit more interesting.

The other day, while I was at work, my cousin stole my iphone and tested to see if it can survive a 25
foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My apple ipad is now destroyed and she has 83 views.

I know this is entirely off topic but I had to share it with someone!

Hola, qué tal . Tome la decisión de dejar
mi opinión y de paso aprovechar para comentarte que tu investigación
me fue de mucha ayuda en un trabajo que tenía
muy rezagada porque toda los trabajos que había encontrado
antes de leerte era muy dudosa o poco confiable.
Infinitas gracias
