I am a Social Psychology PhD student, have already earned my Masters, and hope to be a doctor, university professor, & researcher when I'm 27.
I am an Indie-Kid and, given that I spend most of my time playing Psychology, most of the cathartic joy I find here will be to satiate purely artistic pleasures.

3 Obamacare Explained in Simple Terms
I’ve been looking everywhere for an explanation of so-called ‘Obamacare’ that doesn’t make me scratch my head in dismay and give up after the first 5 sentences. This totally fits the bill; a bullet-pointed, simple to understand explanation complete with links to various parts of the bill. While the writer is obviously in favor of what the bill is saying, it is stated plainly enough for you to make your own assumptions. It’s always good to be informed!

I know there is much discussion about this. I worked at U of MN as a medical insurance specialist. It isn’t cute when even newborns can’t even get medical insurance, hopefully this will start to help.

13 Your next friend should be a ninja: Hey, Ladies! Check out the Crucial Benefits of Obamacare.
Yesterday’s ruling on the Affordable Care Act was a “supreme win for women,” as our story by Jessica Arons, the director of the Women’s Health and Rights Program at the Center for American Progress, helpfully explains.

655 That moment when you’re at the pharmacy picking up your birth control and you hand over your insurance card, and they tell you your copayment dropped from $102 to $15.
And then you realize that, because of the man you voted for sticking up for the basic right to affordable health care, today millions of other people found out that they are going to be able to stop making the choice between food and medicine, and will get to experience that relief too. Thank you, President Obama.

The Affordable Care Act has been upheld, with the individual mandate “reasonably characterised as a tax.” Thank you, Chief Justice Roberts, for your deciding vote.
Numbers, people. Real numbers, real people.
I am one of the people the Affordable Care Act helped. Thank you President Obama. Thank You Supreme Court Justices.
Love,

978 Health Care Law is Pro-Life and I Will Work Hard to Protect It
The historic ObamaCare legislation passed by President Obama is pro-woman and pro-Catholic, especially considering that increased access to contraception will help to reduce the number of unplanned pregnancies & abortions. The Ryan Plan that Romney has embraced, however, is an immoral budget against Catholic & Christian values.
Abortion continues to be a divisive issue, as only 23% of people believe it should be legal in all cases: http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3nti78UmW1qm81zso1_500.png
When President Obama gave his speech at Notre Dame he stated that we have “unbridgeable differences” with people who are Pro-Life, but reducing the number of abortions in a way that does not diminish women’s right to choose should be a policy both sides can agree on. Even Stupak, the Pro-Life Democrat who withheld his vote on ObamaCare until the President signed an executive order ensuring no funds for abortion, came to vote for this legislation. He was most heroic when telling his Democratic colleagues to *vote down* his Stupak Amendment when Republicans tried attaching it to the House bill on March 21st 2010.
The benefits ObamaCare provides to women, and therefore families, are immeasurable: http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m1ljse0xKX1qzhkvho1_r1_500.png
Hopefully, as more provisions become active over time, and the abortion rate falls due to women’s increased access to health care, Pro-Lifers & Pro-Choicers will see ObamaCare as a bridge they can share.
