Remember that law passed in 2010? The one called the    Patently Pollyannaish, Asinine ,Calamitous Abominaton       Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, or PPACA – AKA “Obamacare”?

Another Group Gets Their Eyes Forced Open – Maybe

Well, here we go. Another group is raising hell about having to pay a fee for not having the “proper” kind of healthcare. Predictably, they don’t much like it.
