Insurance Mart and Insurance SMART!
This SQUIDOO Lens was created as a view to the website which has the same name. Insurance Mart and Insurance SMART (IMIS) initially began as an affiliate marketing site for health insurance products. But because of the uproar of U.S. citizens - some FOR, some AGAINST, and some CONFUSED - about the provisions of the recently passed healthcare reform legislation, IMIS started a blog and entitled it simply: "Taking Notes". TAKING NOTES publishes posts on a myriad of health topics, including the subject of healthcare reform in the United States; more specifically, information, news, events, etc. resulting from the passage and implementation of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) (see arrow below pointing to free PPACA Resources).
Please become a part of the growing IMIS fan base by liking our Facebook page or add the GOOGLE Plus page to your circles and share with friends.

Prediction: Will Obamacare Live or Die?
I predict ...
What is your prediction?
cmoneyspinner predicts:
By 2024, if the Obama administration's health reforms have not been totally chipped away at, circumvented or flat out obliterated, citizens will praise the legislation as having been necessary and long overdue, and historical records will state that Obama, Nancy Pelosi and others were visionaries.
cmoneyspinner predicts:
And I also predict that whether Obamacare lives or dies, as the world turns, everybody else will continue living and dying!! :) {{{***}}}
