And in a state where approval of President Obama hovers around 34 percent, enthusiasm for the health law is lacking even among some who stand to benefit from it. Rick Prario, 54, learned at Family Health Centers this month that he was eligible for Medicaid after losing his longtime job at a hardware store. But he was still furious about having to pay the law’s tax penalty for going uninsured in 2014, when he was still working.
“They could take Obamacare and get rid of it, and it would never bother me one bit,” said Mr. Prario, who had been skipping treatment for diabetes, high blood pressure and arthritis.
Mr. Prario, who did not vote in the election, said he hoped to qualify for disability soon because he saw it as a surer thing than Medicaid.

Luzinski's Gut wrote:Another one of the subplots within the Middle East which is going to cause even more tension as the new 30 Years War emerges are the roles of the Turks and Saudis.

The Turks still hold onto the title of Caliph from the Ottoman Empire, which died a sclerotic death only 96 years ago.

The Saudis are the protector of the Holy Sites and have the resources to fund a lot of the Sunni Extremism across the globe.

This should be a "fun" game within a game within a game to watch over time.

If anyone has a clue on how this turns out, they should slapped repeatedly until a clue appears. This is a mess that is going to take decades to resolve, the question is how far does it spill over into the rest of the world.

It is mind boggling how the R's project their tactics on Obama and then talk about it like it's a bad thing. They love creating narratives for stupid people.

I posted about this a lot, but this is one of their more disgusting and effective tactics. They harped about freedoms during the Bush administration, but then we got the Patriot Act. Must be pretty cool to do a thing then blame your rivals for doing that thing and half the country believes you because they're morons.

I've also posted a lot about it. Accuse your opponent of doing the very thing you're doing. Then, at worst, say that everyone does it, setting up a false equivalency.

It's effective only when people aren't paying any attention. And since being educated and informed means you're an elitist, that's exactly the condition the GOP base finds itself. There are uninformed on both sides, of course, but only one side is actively cultivating ignorance.

Erdoğan: I will resign if any oil purchase from Daesh is proven

“We are clearly called, in the Bible, to adhere to our civil authorities, but that conflicts with also a requirement to adhere to God’s rules. When those two come in conflict, God’s rules always win. In essence, if we are ever ordered by a government authority to personally violate and sin, violate God’s law and sin, if we’re ordered to stop preaching the gospel, if we’re ordered to perform a same-sex marriage as someone presiding over it, we are called to ignore that. We cannot abide by that because government is compelling us to sin.”

Paris police have extended a ban on public demonstrations around Le Bourget until the end of the conference on climate change.

The general prohibition put in place in the wake of the Nov. 13 attacks in Paris came to an end on Tuesday but the ban has been extended until Dec. 13 around the Champs-Elysees in central Paris and in Le Bourget, where the COP21 meeting is taking place.

On Sunday, police took 317 protesters into custody after activists seeking to call attention to climate change defied the ban on marches and clashed with police at the Place de la Republique, a central point for commemorations after the Nov. 13 attacks that killed 130 people. All but nine have been released.

According to 2015 data obtained by newsnet5.com, current federal grants go towards funding 155,000 STI tests, 14,000 cancer screenings, 13,000 HIV tests in health centers and nearly 5,000 HIV tests in the community annually.

Planned Parenthood of Greater Ohio also uses the funds to provide sex education to more than 14,000 women, men and youth.

The non-profit provides health education and outreach in the community to more than 58,000 women, men and youth annually.

From July 1, 2014 to June 30, 2015, Ohio’s 27 Planned Parenthood locations saw 78,909 patients for a total of 159,462 visits.

Stephanie Kight, CEO of Planned Parenthood of Greater Ohio told newsnet5.com that in a worst case scenario, programs like Violence Against Women Act education, the infant mortality reduction program and HIV testing program could be eliminated.

But Kight argues that quality and value of services could suffer.

“A year from now, I would look and see if the same number of people are being served for the same dollar because that’s why we get these grants,” Kight said. “We’re very good at writing efficient programs, high-quality programs.”
