Quote of the Day

"The key thing to understand is Obamacare is a war on bros. It's young men in particular who are going to pay a lot more. Young people are going to pay more, men are going to pay more relative to women, and healthy people are going to pay more relative to sick people."—Forbes blogger and "outside adviser to the Romney campaign on health care issues" Avik Roy, on Fox & Friends.

LOL whooooooooooooops:
According to The Washington Post, insurance companies sometimes charged women up to ten times more than men before the Affordable Care Act made discrimination illegal.

And starting in 2014, insurance companies will be barred from charging sick people or people with pre-existing conditions more for insurance.
War on bros. WAR ON BROS. Perfect.
