Health Care Reform Approved.

Here is a picture of President Barack Obama's signature on the health insurance reform bill at the White House on March 23, 2010.

Like it or no, it's still a historic moment in history. I think we can all agree that we hope it leads to good things for our country!

How nervous would you be if you knew that the signature you were writing was going to be analyzed and looked at for possibly centuries? I think he maybe got a little nervous on the 'O', but the 'bama' gets it back together.

Home Pictures!

Also, here's some pictures from my trip! More after the break.

Court and I really want encourage everyone to form their own opinions about the universal health care bill. Vote and write to your politicians with your opinion. If you don't like what's happening in our country, take a stand and do something. Don't just bitch about it.

We'll be doing our best to keep you fairly informed in the meantime. Both about this, and Lindsay Lohan's latest tweets. Word up.

Hey, guys. In the wake of Congress passing the Health Care Bill, thought I'd post some home video I took at a Rally in DC over my spring break. My personal favorite is of the man dancing. I'll try to tweet pictures later. Follow me at theomarshall.

How Will Health Care Bill Affect Us NOW?

Click here to read CNN's article on the newly passed health care bill that President Obama will sign into law on Tuesday.

Basically the items that will go into effect immediatly are:

• No more annual or lifetime caps. This will mostly affect patients with serious illnesses who face staggaring bills, as health insurance companies will not be allowed to place a cap on how much they will cover.
• Help for the uninsured with pre-existing conditions. 
• Coverage for older children (college students, this means YOU). Insurers will be required to provide coverage options for non dependent children up to the age of 26. This will help recent graduates as well as young adults who are between jobs and uninsured. 
• A drug discount for seniors

Oh, ABC.

Yup, if you haven't heard, everyone will, at some point, get health care! But, what I want everyone to focus on is that the fact that Lindsay Lohan was on the front page of ABCnews.com. She's right below an article about Tiger Woods, Cambodian sex trade and President Barack Obama. I realized I'm writing this on a Celebrity Gossip Blog, but really?! How the eff did she make it on this page? And, with a story about her being banned from India. Does anyone in India even care if she's there? I feel like they have bigger problems.

Obama on Letterman.

Barack Obama stopped by Late Night with David Letterman last night. Love him. So cute and funny. When did George Bush ever do late night, let alone well?

Line of the night? Obama downplaying the suggestion that opposition to his administration and its policies is racially motivated, deadpanning, "I think it's important to realize that I was actually black before the election."

He also touches lightly on the economy, unemployment, and his strategy in both Iraq and Afghanistan while hinting lightly at universal health care.

Health Care Hottie.

First Lady Michelle Obama spoke at an event about the importance of health care reform, and it's impact on women and families in the U.S. on Friday. Looking fabulous I might add.

“The status quo is unacceptable,” Michelle said. “It is holding women and families back. [Women are] disproportionately affected by this issue because of the roles that we play in families. [And women] are more likely to work part-time, or to work in small companies or businesses that don’t provide any insurance at all.”

Ok, I don't like to get all Perez Hilton- political on this thing, but...let's just say I'm going to be posting more stuff like this, that is pro-universal health care. Sorry guys, it's the way to go. Deal with it. 

 

OMG she is so gorgeous. I think I might have a new style icon. Seriously, look at this lady. So pretty! So stylish. Drop dead, for sure.

 Also, when I wrote the title of this I totally thought of Ja'mie from Summer Heights High when they say that their dance is to benefit AIDS, and to raise money they have a dress up day or something, and she dresses up as "an AIDS nurse, but like, a hot AIDS nurse."
