It’s true.
The Adorable Care Act guarantees that insurance providers can’t deny you coverage for having a pre-existing condition.
So does the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare).
House Republicans are taking #ThrowbackThursday too far. Shutting down the government because you don’t get your way is reckless and will hurt our economy.
Some may disagree, but I believe America is exceptional. - President Obama at the UN 9/24/2013

“It’s really hard to be poor (see Pollack's amazing interview on how being poor changes the way people think for more on that). But the lesson here is that once you have an income that you can live off of and save a little bit besides, managing your finances shouldn’t be all that hard. The people making it complicated are often trying to make money off of you.”

For-profit colleges have a much lower completion rate than Public and Non-Profit institutions, and more often than not, their students are left with massive amounts of debt and useless degrees. The Department of Education is looking to rein in some of the worst abuses in the for-profit college industry, but the Republicans in the House are trying to shut down their investigation, leaving students without the most basic protections.
Higher education students need access to affordable degrees and certificate programs that lead directly to good jobs – not marketing scams and strong arm tactics.
