Signed, Sealed, Delivered - Better Coverage, Lower Cost - Obamacare

As we all know, Americans cherish good health. It is a very important aspect of our busy and challenging lives. For us healthcare decisions are very personal and often entail financial difficulty, but sadly, too many family members and friends are left with few or no choices: they must fend for themselves. Thanks to the Affordable Health Care Act or Obamacare, which builds on the notion that all Americans desire the security of having viable healthcare coverage, there is help. The good news – Obamacare is already working and the much talked about Heathtcare Marketplace and enrollment commences October 1, 2013. The open Marketplace allows individuals to shop for the most affordable coverage as well as provide a mechanism for those who previously were unable to get insurance for various reasons.
