Sales of “ObamaCare Survival Guide” have exceeded 100,000 copies and the book now ranks No. 4 on Barnes & Noble’s list of best-sellers. It also ranks No. 4 on Amazon.com’s list of the best-selling books in the Politics & Government category, and No. 1 in the Health Policy category.
At 264 pages, the book provides a very simple overview of Obamacare, it is easy to read. (SPOILER ALERT) If you are looking forward to find out how to survive Obamacare, the answer from the book is that you can’t. However, the devil you know is usually better than the devil that you don’t. (that might have been a better title)
Any law that is passed on a holiday weekend in the middle of the night without one Republican vote in favor of the Bill where not one of the signatories have read it and had time to evaluate it — is usually not a good thing.
Review from amazon.com: I read this at a Barnes and Nobel because open enrollmenet season is upon us and have noticed several trends that appear to be troublesome over the past 2 years. In short, this “guide” explains somewhat potential and current changes to health insurance and its implementation…
The 1 negative review I read indicated that if you are a right winger this book was for you and if you were a left winger forget it. Sorry, but in my opinion information is information whether you like it or not, I suffer through MSNBC, PBS, CNN, and Fox that way I can decide, not let someone else do it for me.
It’s the law of the land and it’s time that you were informed in detail on how that law impacts you. You won’t hear it from the liberal media.
Knowledge is power.
I suspect that the liberal media has a different take on it. Wasn't one of the slogans from 1984 "Ignorance is Strength"?
We're doomed!
Based on the impacts I've seen this month (prescriptions went up $100/mo on my MSA, and my co-pays went from $30 to $60, it's NOT going to be pretty…
Just saying "obama" tends to spoil everything.
The death panels won't be kind to conservatives.
That's just the opening salvo. But think of all of the illegal aliens that you're providing healthcare for with your contribution!
He's like a bacteria.
WOW no comments about Obamacare – just bashing him. If a disabled vet gets all his healthcare from the VA, does he need an insurance plan??
Since I'm a veteran and get care from the VA, it's a single payer plan with the government picking up the tab. Do you recall the OLD VA – pre George W. Bush? That's Obamacare, my friend, except that you'll be out of pocket for it.
being on SSI and living in another country , do I need Obama care ?
