Carissa Brooks went to the Shopping Center on Saturday to buy some thread. She went home with some health insurance. It was an emotional moment for the 36-year-old mother of two.
She stumbled upon a health-insurance outreach program by Public Health-Seattle. The department hosted the event to help people obtain coverage through the Affordable Care Act.
"It's exciting," Brooks said, after hugging her "in-person assister," the staffer certified to help with enrollment. "I was going to cry."
Brooks was able to qualify for Medicaid coverage under the new Affordable Care Act provisions, and she will not have to pay any premium for her coverage.

She's a MOOCHER! We Taxpayers are paying for her coverage! She's a MOOCHER!!!!!!
The Takers
To function, Obamacare is going to have to attract and be able to sign up relatively healthy people who don’t qualify for a subsidy. Successfully adding another medicaid recipient to the rolls is hardly a success story.
She simply went to emergency before where there is a sign “no One is turned away”. Then she was assigned a free physician under Medicaid.
How convenient! Say, this is really a neat deal! I even got a free toaster!
Where are the 7 million stories that go, “I never bothered with insurance because I never get sick but now they’re fleecing me for $850 a month! For nothing!”
More people have lost their medical coverage as a direct result obamneycare than have acquired it under obamneycare. The media isn't talking about that little consequence though.
“she will not have to pay any premium for her coverage.”
That is insane. My Medicare coverage money is taken out of my SS check. Then, I pay over $200 a month for supplement insurance to cover what Medicare doesn’t. I also pay over $60 a month for drug insurance.
That person gets it all for free - that is wrong and is part of what will destroy this country economically.
and his premiums will drop to $97? Riiight.
It’s paradise. Everything is free. Hey, the Mercedes-Benz you gave me needs gasoline to run. I hope you’re paying for that too, because I can’t afford it?
for a tiny fraction of the cost of that defunct website, the Obama thug gang could have covered thousands of poor people with sad stories and marched them in front of their obedient media.
will destroy....
is destroying
I take Judge Judy’s position. I raised my own kids and provided for them.....I don’t want to pay for your kids.
