More of the " big f@#*ing" deal.

With approval ratings holding steady at 53% over the last few months, Obama continues to prevail with the people.

Even with a nation divided by his signature domestic accomplishment, the health care law, and Biden's "big f@#*ing deal" at-a-boy; this blog echoes the sentiment and thinks that putting Americans in control of their health care, is a big effing deal.

At Oceangeles, we believe that the fun has just begun. It is a big deal when $1 trillion dollars of federal funds will expand health coverage to 32 million Americans; cut the deficit by $143 billion over the next ten years; provide subsidies for families within 100-400% the Federal Poverty Level, and ensure seniors on Medi Care can afford prescription drugs.

Addressing a cheering crowd chanting "Yes we Can" at Maine on Thursday April 1st, 2010 (no joke here) President Obama in his opening remarks said "...after a century of trying and a year and a half of debate, heath insurance reform, last week, became the law of the land.

Yes we Can, and Yes we Did!

This blog believes that the will of the people will continue to prevail as we confront the realities of health care in America, and dispell the delegitimizing myths and propaganda around the new law. We look forward to following the President's campaign to the people during this massive health care overhaul.

According to the White House, small business with 25 or fewer employees with average annual wages of less than $50,000 will receive tax credits this year if they provide health care coverage to their workers. These credits are said to increase by 2014, with 4 million small businesses benefiting. By the way, there is no employer mandate, another big deal.

So what's in the horizon?

We look forward to participating in the debate for mandates that will expand coverage for the undocumented and a woman's reproductive rights. We see these two issues as the next big deal to watch for.
