Sebelius: Thanks to Obamacare, Law Student Can 'Devote Her Career' to Social Justice
CNS News ^ | 4/15/12 | Elizabeth Harrington

(CNSNews.com) – Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said on Thursday that Obamacare had made it possible for a 25-year-old law student to devote her career to working on social justice issues instead of working for a big law firm.

At Rev. Al Sharpton’s 14th annual NAN conference, Sebelius touted the Administration’s health care overhaul, which she also said was responsible for helping close racial and ethnic health gaps in the country.

“Because of the steps we’ve taken there are 410,000 African American young adults across the country who were uninsured but now have insurance coverage under their parents’ health plan, thanks to the new law,” Sebelius said.

“Now one of them was with me in Miami a couple of weeks ago a 25-year-old law student named Ashley,” she said, highlighting the student as a success story for the Affordable Care Act’s policy that allows children to stay on their parents’ health care plans until they are 26.

If I was a law student, I would spend my time trying to find a way to sue her

Oh the horror of having to go out and make a lot of money.

...highlighting the student as a success story for the Affordable Care Act’s policy that allows children to stay on their parents’ health care plans until they are 26.

So her "career" lasts from 25 years old to 26?

Another activist “social justice” whiner. America already has too many of those. They need to throw her ass out of “law school”.

This really means she has rich parents, and no student loan debt : )

Because of Obama's policies, there are five MILLION fewer jobs than there were three years ago. If those jobs came back, those 410,000 AA young adults could get jobs that include health insurance. If they really wanted to work, of course.

That's exactly what I was thinking. OK, but she still needs to find a real job when she turns 26!

Unfortunately, the number of lawyers society needs working on “social justice” issues is zero. So Obamacare has already resulted in a gross misallocation of human resources, in this instance.

It could also mean that she graduated in the bottom half of her class from a second or third tier law school, and it was that or flipping burgers at Mickey D's for a little more money.

IOW, be a Marxist community organizing rabblerouser rather than possibly doing productive and useful work. Got it.

Social justice is code for Marxism.

I’m willing to bet that this law student has access to extremely inexpensive health insurance through her law school.

. . .Obamacare had made it possible for a 25-year-old law student to devote her career to working on social justice issues instead of working for a big law firm.

Restated in more accurate terms: ObamaCare has made it possible for another aspiring anti-American lawyer to use her law career to become a leech on American society.
