Hey our new shirts from Sevenly arrived today. Sweet. “Be the change you wish to see in the world.” And “If there is no struggle there is no progress.” Both shirts support a fresh start for homeless youth. Thanks to Mark Horvath for making homelessness visible!

Why the tech-savy Obama administration launched a busted healthcare website
While everyone is moaning about the Affordable Care Act my insurance company just notified us they’ll no longer cover the reflux meds two of my kids need.
In addition they’re no longer covering my allergy meds.
Sounds about right.
I won’t begin to get into how they won’t cover the amino acid based formula Little Miss needs at $50 a can…

A few friends are sharing this post on social media:
I received the following from a friend in Ohio, a grandmother in her 60s:
“I actually made it through this morning at 8 a.m. I have a pre-existing condition (Type 1 Diabetes) and my income base was 45K-55K annually.
“I chose Tier 2 ‘Silver Plan’ and my monthly insurance premiums came out to $597 with a $13,988 yearly deductible! There is NO POSSIBLE way that I can afford this so I ‘Opt-Out’ and chose to continue along with no insurance.
“I received an email tonight at 5 p.m. informing me that my fine would be $4,037 and could be attached to my yearly income tax return. Then you make it to the ‘REPERCUSSIONS PORTION’ for “non-payment†of yearly fine.
“First, your drivers license will be suspended until paid, and if you go 24 consecutive months with ‘non-payment,’ you will have a federal tax lien placed on your home.
“You can agree to give your bank information so that they can easily ‘Automatically withdraw’ your ‘penalties’ weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly! This by no means is ‘free’ or even ‘affordable.’â€
Apparently the Killeen Daily Herald actually ran it as a letter to the editor on their website.
