Marylanders Standing To Benefit From Health Reform Know Least About It, Survey Says

Maryland residents who stand to benefit most from the federal Affordable Care Act know the least about the law, according to a survey released Monday by the Horizon Foundation and the Maryland Health Care for All Coalition.

Low-income, minority and less-educated voters are among the demographics least aware of the provisions of the Obama Administration’s landmark health care reform law, according to a report on the survey’s findings. Overall, about 59 percent of survey respondents said they support the law, but only about 30 percent said they knew a lot about the law’s provisions.

Those numbers suggest there is significant room for improvement in educating the public about the law before it fully goes into effect January 2014.

They know we will take care of them. They trust us with their future despite the tailspin the country is in financially and morally.
The future belongs to the Progressive Democrats! (Pssst, that's code for communists, lol) We have laid the foundation for the Fundamental Transformation to begin!
Forward Comrades!
ALL HAIL OBAMA!

Psst. over 60% of college graduates voted for Obama. Duhh? Ironic though how the mass of morons voted for the your boy Romney. Your spew of fear only intimidates the clueless. Take the time to read the 2500+ pages if you can, and perhaps your ignorant rant of communism may dwindle.

3:15 don't even compare today's college grads with those of the past. Anyone who received their bachelor's pre 1990 and has since taken classes knows this. You can get a master's anymore with your eyes closed and a doctorate in certain fields like education with one eye closed.
1/2 -3/4 of those enrolled in public US colleges and universities do not belong there.
