Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren are working at it. So is Sherrod Brown, along with a few others, but they're voices in the wind when it comes to actually getting anything done.Ramonahttp://ramonasvoices.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2772956368752433326.post-79050357107785290612013-11-14T00:25:00.558-05:002013-11-14T00:25:00.558-05:00It's still hard for me to believe that our sta...It's still hard for me to believe that our stalwart protector and last political Kennedy chose right then to kick it.

Of course, they didn't have the 60 votes to kill the filibuster but there's no question that if the Dems had forced the Republicans to cast votes against their own constituents instead of saying "Well, they'll vote 'no' anyway, so why bother", we wouldn't be in this fix.Ramonahttp://ramonasvoices.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2772956368752433326.post-56772511687963281782013-11-13T22:46:12.426-05:002013-11-13T22:46:12.426-05:00I hope they get it straightened out soon, too.

I did some research last night - prompted by the post (thank you!) - so I'm feeling decently confident about getting it to work!Dakotahttp://chimeraroad.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2772956368752433326.post-37689752209053608902013-11-13T08:18:02.355-05:002013-11-13T08:18:02.355-05:00You do know you can just call them 1-800-451-3192 ...You do know you can just call them 1-800-451-3192 and believe it or not the website does work.

Unfortunately, since the website doesn't work yet, I'm not sure how those of us on the ground will meet the January 1st (March, really) deadline for having healthcare. I have two close family members that need health insurance.Dakotahttp://chimeraroad.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
