"Obamacare has cut Kentucky's uninsured population by more than 40 percent, signing up roughly 360,000 residents since enrollment opened up on Oct. 1, according to the Louisville Courier-Journal.

Some 75 percent of them -- 270,000 -- were previously uninsured. That means Kentucky's uninsured population of 640,000 has come down by 42 percent."

Also, it has taken 50 years for LBJ to get the credit he deserves for passing Civil Rights, Medicare, Medicaid, etc. I hope that in 50 years, Obamacare gets the same as it gets better with age. Nancy Pelosi saved the bill in 2010. She deserves a place on Mt. Rushmore as history will be kind to her.
