While we are all waiting with bated breath for Tuesday, October 1 when we can find out how much “free stuff” we will get under Obamacare, some of us may have to wait a bit longer.
When does the Sound Off Sister, Jim and I get credit from the Obamacare supporters who called us liars when it comes to the facts about Obamacare? Even the man himself has come out and finally referred to some of the increases.
