For a real explanation of the Affordable Care Act from folks actually in the know, check out this interview from this year's NAACP Leadership 500 conference with the Director of External Affairs in the Office of the Secretary of Health Services Anton Gunn and the NAACP's Senior Director of Health Programs, Shavon Arline-Bradley.
Or if you'd prefer we broke it into chapters:
Introduction, Enrollment, and the Marketplace
Consumer Costs, Subsidies, and Penalties
Insurance Company Regulation
Share and Spread the Word
Government Shouldn't Tell Me What To Do
And this morning on #amTWiB, #TheMorningCrew discussed drones falling from the sky, parachuting men, and politicizing the shutdown.
