I just got health insurance through the federal exchange today as well. It will be in effect May 1, 2014. I've not had health insurance since May 2009.

I am so very happy for you and the millions of our fellow citizens who now have health insurance.

Let us all now push to expand Medicaid in the red states which have rejected expansion so that millions more of our fellow citizens can get the health insurance and health care that they need and deserve.
