Michelle Obama me dice
This week is the sixth anniversary of the passing of the Affordable Care Act -- one of the most important bills that Barack has signed into law to improve the lives of the American people. And it's working.
It's been six years since supporters like you stood up and called on Washington to do the right thing and ensure that Americans have access to benefits like free preventive care and coverage for prescription drugs; that kids can stay on their parents' plans until they turn 26; and that no one ever has to confront lifetime limits on their insurance, or unfair costs for women, or barriers to being insured because of pre-existing conditions.
OFA supporters played a vital role in making all of this possible, and Barack and I could not be more grateful for all that you've done.
But our work isn't finished. Millions of Americans in several states would be eligible for Medicaid, but state leaders are refusing to expand it for political reasons. And millions more Americans can now get coverage under the new marketplace, but don't yet know about their options. Reaching all of those people depends on supporters like you.
OFA is one of the groups keeping up the fight for affordable health care -- add your name to join them.
Sasha and Malia are growing up fast (too fast), and as a mom, I know the peace of mind that comes with knowing that your family will have the health care they need.
A few weeks ago we learned that 20 million people now have that same sense of security because they've gained health coverage thanks to Obamacare -- and 100 million Americans who already had coverage now have additional benefits.
That's an overwhelming success for families, but there's more work to do -- say you'll stand with OFA and keep up the fight for affordable health care:

TRUMP EL REPUBLICANO
for Carolina Jaimes B
His style is confrontational. It is disrespectful, rude and knows no limits. Venezuelans know well that way of doing politics. Trump does not want to be "politically correct".
"Like poles repel, opposite poles attract." This is a law and it is true not only in physics. In human relationships it is common. And it is a fixed policy: the ends are similar, although their doctrines are radically opposed.
I watched the Republican campaign for the presidential candidate Donald Trump where it seems that is about to clinch the victory, think of what it is like Chavez and of course, his son and heir Maduro.
What makes a people tipping over to support an aggressive, segregationist and obtuse leader? It has nothing to do with education: remember that the most educated people in the world bought the speech of Adolf Hitler. Nor does it have to do with religion in the name of God have been committed horrible crimes throughout history. I think it has more to do with instincts and passions and definitely needed more than education or religion to go against the grain.
Trump went even further-in the same style of Chavez as a candidate, offering fry adecos oil and pour muriatic acid to the Supreme Court then (as I heard him speak at an event in Maracay) - and spoke public to "kill those who disagreed with him." First time in the history of the United States that a candidate provides such nonsense on television.
Forward and backward, half joking and half serious, he said amid cheering followers. Trump has no limits on what he says and pathetically style that attracts a lot of Americans. So much so that the same Republicans are in a sort of "all against Trump" to see if they stop the madness that can become the candidate.
Freedom of expression? It can not be "free" to use an expression that breaks with civility, democracy and respect for those who think differently. In another act, which referred to Trump had to hit his critics, a follower, John McGraw, he hits a black man, Rakeem Jones, who attended the rally.
The worst is that the security officers tried to attack as if it was the attacker: he was handcuffed and taken into custody, while the attacker was allowed to return to his post.
A couple of days later, Corey Lewandowski, campaign manager Trump hit the journalist Michelle Fields. When questioned, she replied that she "just wanted attention."
Special mention Trump's ideas to "expand the laws to include torture". harshly he criticized the "sentimentality" Barack Obama about it. "We have to be tougher, rougher. To those (dissidents, enemies) have to drown them in boxes, "he said. Trump masterfully handles public opinion, as did Chavez.
What will the military? Gen. Michael Hayden, former director of the National Security Agency and the CIA, against whom also charged Trump told MSNBC: "The military will not obey orders that violate laws. It is not mutiny, not coup. They are American soldiers who refuse to violate the law. "
Hopefully Americans do not have to go through what we went through us. Here we have seen several seasons of the series of terror. Unfortunately, no one chastens from somebody else ...

El Horóscopo de ARIES
Aries, estás angustiado. El trabajo te está matando. No puedes más. Estás desesperado porque necesitas ese dinero para subsistir pero, sabes que tu cuerpo te está enviando señales y que tu alma está agotada.
Estás en una situación de máxima desesperación. No sabes qué hacer ni a quién recurrir. Tu intuición te dice que la situación empeorará y que tú eres víctima del destino.
Y nunca se equivoca, tu intuición es privilegiada. Tienes miedo porque no sabes lo que pasará. Quizás sea hora de dejarlo todo, de tirar la toalla. No lo debes de hacer pero, a día de hoy, nadie te lo impedirá.
Te sientes absolutamente solo y aislado. Deja ese pesimismo, apártalo inmediatamente de tu vida y habla con tus jefes. Quizás ellos puedan proponerte un trato para que te puedas ir de un modo legal y beneficioso para ti. Nada pierdes por probar.
