Help! I found a huge software error on the Obamacare Affordable Care Act (ACA) Healthcare Marketplace. This error falls on all families using the Marketplace to determine their ACA subsidy where one member has insurance through their job and only some of the family are seeking insurance through the Marketplace.

I believe this is system-wide and nationwide programming glitch. Even families well above the poverty line would have their subsidy minimized when they only seek coverage for one member of the family because other members have health care coverage through work.

Follow me through the squiggle for background.

The current spiel around some Hillary Clinton supporters (perhaps it was there all along) is that anyone who doesn't vote for Hillary is a sexist misogynist. Blogs have been posted from women who write that they experienced tears of joy when they found themselves in a voting booth with a real opportunity to vote for a woman to be a candidate for president of the United States.

I heard Carol Gilligan, a gender studies scholar and professor of psychology at New York University, on National Public Radio say that Hillary hate is part and parcel of a paternalistic society where women are encouraged to tear each other down. She likened it to 7th grade girls who ostracize any girl who stands out from the pack, dresses unconventionally, is smarter, or otherwise different in some way. She said that we're doing this now to Hillary.

To me, there's no contest between Senator Obama and Senator Clinton as to who is the stronger candidate. My choice is not Hillary Clinton, but I find myself agonizing over whether I'm putting women and the women's movement back by not voting for Hillary. And while I agonize I find myself moving towards outright Hillary hate and wonder whether I could even support her in the general election should she be nominated.

I had an epiphany about how Karl Rove keeps Democrats ineffective. He using overt discrimination against Liberals to keep Liberals weak. I learned about discrimination from Frontline's "A Class Divided" episode recounted teacher Jane Elliott's experiment on discrimination with her third grade class in Riceville, Iowa. Following Martin Luther King's asassination, she gave her students a taste of what discrimination feels like. She artificially divided her class of white Iowa farm children into blue-eyed and brown-eyed kids. Read More
