Really? Benefits? Or costs?
Obamacare’s ‘Benefits’ Are Gradually Becoming Apparent
At his press conference Tuesday, President Obama assured Americans that, ìTo the 85-90 percent of Americans who already have health insurance: Theyíre already experiencing most of the benefits of the Affordable Care Act even if they donít know it.

Army Master Sgt. C.J. Grisham, the decorated vet arrested last month after “rudely displaying” his rifle while on a hike with his 15-year-old son, was still without his firearms on Thursday. Police in Temple, Texas are holding onto his AR-15 (and .45.-cal. pistol) until his case is resolved, and as you know, the wildly popular rifles aren’t cheap to replace.
But on Friday, Black Rain Ordnance, a Missouri firearms company, graciously offered to give Grisham his choice of any AR-15 rifle at a significantly discounted price — free.
“When we heard about his situation, it was obvious that his rights were trampled on,” Charlie Spires, the gun company’s co-founder, told TheBlaze at the 2013 NRA Convention in Houston on Friday. “Then we hear that they basically confiscated his weapon and he can’t get it back — what can we do? That the was the next question we asked.”
Spires said there were some suggestions of “throwing some t-shirts at him,” but the company wanted to take it a step further. “Ultimately, if they’ve taken his rifle and we are a firearms manufacturer, why not give a rifle to him?”
“I’ve got goosebumps just thinking about it,” Grisham told TheBlaze after learning he would be getting a free rifle. “It’s completely unnecessary… I don’t even have words for it.”
By the way, here’s what someone who just learned he’s getting a free AR-15 looks like:

Blackout In Kermit Gosnell Trial Shines Spotlight On Mainstream Media (via http://www.thebrennerbrief.com)
In retrospect, it is safe to surmise that had the liberal media been more aware of the facts surrounding the Boston Marathon bombings and the loyalties of Tsarnaev brothers who set the bombs, the story would have received scant coverage. The left was in overdrive in the immediate aftermath of the bombing…
“I feel the need… the need for speed.” While it may be satisfying to channel your inner Maverick, the time to do it is not when you’re explaining why you were caught exceeding the posted speed limit on a BLS interfacility transfer.
“You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.” I know we’ve all had that supervisor whose interpersonal skills were on a par with Vizzini’s, but when they keep using the word “accountability,” perhaps this is not the way to point out that it only seems to apply to everyone but him.
“You use your tongue purtier than a twenty-dollar whore.” While it violates my deeply held belief that there is no inappropriate time for a 
“Rush a miracle man, you get rotten miracles.” I so want to use this quote every time I get gigged for scene time compliance. I may use it yet.
“He’s pinin’ for the fjords, he is.” When triaging patients at an MCI, it’s probably not appropriate to refer to your black-tagged patients this way. Unless, of course, your patient actually is a dead parrot. Then it’s awesome.
“I must have killed more men than 
“Cry ‘Havoc!’, and let slip the dogs of war!” Shakespeare probably doesn’t set the right tone for a friendly Dispatchers vs Ambulance Crews flag football game during EMS Week, so… no, wait. On second thought, that sets the tone perfectly. Use that one with my blessing.
”Be respectful to your superiors, if you have any.” You probably shouldn’t espouse this 
“It just so happens that your friend here is only MOSTLY dead. There’s a big difference between mostly dead and all dead. Mostly dead is slightly alive. With all dead, well, with all dead there’s usually only one thing you can do… go through his clothes and look for loose change.” We’ve all been called to that drunken party where someone called an ambulance for a cardiac arrest that turned out to be only drunk. And aside from pointing out that the victim constantly pushing the chest compressor’s hands away is a reliable sign of life, it’s best not to use this 
”To crush my enemies, to see them driven before me, and hear the lamentations of their women.” When asked to express your plans for professional growth on your next performance evaluation, it’s probably not appropriate to quote
