The Washington Post has a very good piece about what having health insurance means to poor people in Eastern Kentucky with chronic health care conditions. As a famous vice-president once said, “it’s a big f***ing deal.”

That’s not an excuse to overlook the huge flaws in Obamacare. For many people care will still be unaffordable. And the insurance companies, drug companies, medical supply companies and doctors are still ripping us off. But as this piece shows, it is already having a huge impact on people’s lives.
