Say what you will, but I got a kid graduating college this month -
and thanks to President Obama, he has health insurance under my husband's policy for the next two years while he's looking for work. Sure, I would have preferred single payer, but until more people see the light, single payer isn't on the table.

Obamacare has not even been the law of the land for one week and already major Fortune 500 companies are announcing hundreds of millions, and even billion, dollar hits to their bottom line. Heritage’s health care team has gone through the legislation and produced the following timeline (pdf) of major policy implementation. Highlights from each year include:
Al, the mandatory insurance/penalty stuff is 2014, the 'kids covered until they're 26' goes into effect January 1st.

It took the DUmmy's kid until he/she was 24 to finish college? Is it this guy?
I would say it depends on where you go and what you're studying, but being the child of a DUmmie, I would guess he studied psychology, sociology or political science. I've known a few people that did those in three years, going to summer school. Guess they wanted to start their job at Starbucks quicker...
Of course, I have little room to talk. I'm on the six year program since I changed my major a few times. Including Poli Sci for a couple semesters. :banghead: Started 2008 to be an architect (a six year program anyway) and finally settled on Medical Tech/CLS. I should graduate 2014. :thatsright:
But at least it's useful. And that's if I don't continue on to PA school.

God I hope not....remember that the student in the picture became a US Senator. No way in hell do I want the spawn of any DUmbass anywhere near DC and government service.
Belushi became a Senator? When was that? Is my memory failing me that much in my old age? I thought he just ended up in a motel room after an OD of speedballs!
That's why I threw in the disclaimer at the end. I know that not everyone is able to follow the traditional model of attending college, and don't begrudge anyone for taking a different path.
