Nation´s top sociologist: Obamacare is an ´anti-poverty program´ for blacks, Latinos
Washington Examiner ^ | 8/8/13 | Paul Bedard

Obamacare is an "anti-poverty program" aiding poor blacks and Latinos, especially in inner cities, and will help those minorities win health insurance they otherwise wouldn´t get, according to Harvard´s — and the nation´s — leading expert on poverty. In a paper that marks the 25th anniversary of his groundbreaking study of the poor, "The Truly Disadvantaged," Harvard sociologist William Julius Wilson said that without Obamacare and the president´s first-term stimulus programs, poverty in the nation would be far worse.

How anti-poverty can it be if you can only work 28 hours a week?

LOL....

It seems the responses in defense of BHO’s policies have been, “everything would be worse if he didn't do this or that.”
Not exactly a glowing endorsement of his policies

So LBJ’s comment about “that will keep the niggers voting democrat for 200 years” can be applied to CommieCare at our expense of course.

He told us that he was going to fundamentally change America into a western version of Zimbabwe run by latter day Marxists. But no, the low information masses wanted it...and now their children and grandchildren who had nothing to say about it will benefit from the rampant stupidity that permeates both the ghetto and academia. God Save the Republic!

We already pay for their D-mn healthcare, hasn’t anyone in the g-d d_mned media ever been to an emergency room in the inner city?

There are people there for the sniffles while the paying patients with bits of limbs hanging by small patches of skin have to wait because the Obamaphone lady woke up with a case of the sniffles....

He’s actually correct, and one of the few to admit it.

It is a wealth transfer program.

“...will help those minorities win health insurance they otherwise wouldn´t get”

....and will ruin the health care system for Whites who will wind up paying till their noses bleed, not only for their own families, but for millions of illegal aliens who will vote for freebies for as long as the USA exists.

It’s all part of Obama’s and the Democrats’ War on Whites.

To the degree that Obama has an ideology, other than self/democrat party aggrandizement, it is ‘redistribution’:internationally, of American wealth and power, domestically, of middle class assets. A shallow man with shallow ideas.

I'm lost or I'm not paying attention, um, or perhaps both but I don't know of anything Zerocare has done yet except push up premiums, loss of coverage for some and new taxes all around.

Seriously, is anyone, "getting" any kind of care out of this yet?

I don't know if it is benefiting anyone yet... but I do know that all MY health care costs have increased and my mother's as well.

Deductibles, office visit cost, prescription cost... etc. ALL have increased and I am pretty sure will continue to increase with NO end in sight.

First, they were already covered under state law. Second, all we do today is water the weeds.
