Official Grassroots American Movement
Dustin Siggins, Tea Party Patriots —With October 1 coming up soon and much of Obamacare well behind schedule, and Congressional Democrats are rightly worried for their political lives. The complexity of the law doesn’t help, and is leaving House Democrats complaining like scared children:Congressional Democrats told Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius on Wednesday that Americans are still very confused about the health care law — including older people who worry that Obamacare will change their Medicare.Some of the concerns constituents are bringing relate to Medicare, insurance coverage for farm workers, and people wondering if they will lose their own coverage.

Plus, hey, she’s one of the most powerful bureaucrats in the nation. I’m sure she knows exactly what’s going on in little towns across the country, to all of us little people. Maybe that’s what the NSA has been tracking… » Full Article
