a lot of people want to absolve Obama of any responsibility for it for some reason, but he's broken what was his main and essentially his only pre-election promise. i'm not sure why Obama in particular is afforded this ''oh its not his fault, he's only the president'' attitude for all his broken promises. well, i am pretty sure, but its wrong that he is.
And he also wanted to make it so if you have a pre-existing condition and therefore can't get insurance (i.e. you are born sick or have been out of work but get ill, they will not insure you) and if you were on a low income, you would be covered.
Does America really believe in the survival of the richest?
I mean, obviously a cancer diagnosis is always shitty news, whatever your situation. But does he have health insurance? Is that covering the cost of the chemo? If not, why not?
Some amazing friends of ours have put together a website for Benjamin to help with the considerable mounting costs that he and his family are facing at present and in the coming months. For all of you that have asked about offering support, here is the link :

It's scary as fuck that almost all Americans are one major illness away from bankruptcy.
I hope I actually remember to donate to this. I wanna.
I've put it over there ----> as a reminder.
Done and done
i'm just happy everyone voted Obama in and he made healthcare free!
Congress makes the Prez powerless :(
nah

I don't think "Obamacare" makes healthcare free
Doesn't it just ensure everyone has insurance?
he was being sarcastic
Yes I know
But it was never intended to make it free was it?
dunno he said 'free healthcare' a lot.
Well maybe, I'm not sure about that
But the bill is about affordable healthcare, and it has been passed
He never promised an NHS style system.
He couldn't do that because no one seems to actually want it in America.
NHS = SOVIET STYLE SOCIALIST NIGHTMARE
free for those on low incomes

why do you keep doing this?
it's exactly the same as when mickey mouse turned out to be a fascist
that never happened
is this godwin's law in action?
busy at work. autofill.
not that scary
Does it actually say anywhere what the money is for?

Asking for more info is a good point actually
I can ask Alley for more info
But I'm loathed to bother her, given the situation - especially as I only vaguely know her from sending some interview questions.
