Washington State ACA Website Down on First Day, October 01, 2013

The government store shopping center for required purchasing of insurance
Our government is our servant.
We must prevent this situation. Servants do not require their employers to purchase anything.
Especially when the servants have exempted themselves, making laws for US and not for them.
This insurance may be negated by the government shut-down, lawsuits, and public comments.

Whatever your opinion, We the People have a right and duty to discuss these issues with our servants.

Tracking the first day of the Affordable Care Act     

Posted by Bob Payne

It’s finally here — the Affordable Care Act, commonly known as Obamacare, launches today. By March, everyone must have health insurance or pay a penalty. Most people who currently have insurance provided by their employer won’t be affected.

In Washington state, the insurance-exchange marketplace opened this morning as the Washington Healthplanfinder, a one-stop shopping site to help people find health insurance.
