• Priests for Life reports that their lawsuit against Obamacare’s contraceptive mandate was dismissed by a U.S. District Court judge in Washington, D.C. Father Frank Pavone states:
  

  The judge’s decision today is a complete contradiction to Judge Cogan’s decision of just a few days ago in New York for organizations situated similarly to us and using exactly the same arguments.

Obamacare continues to provide rich fodder to both liberal and conservative political cartoonists. This week, is the fix in?

On one hand the fix has always been in on President Obama’s healthcare plan and how it was sold to the public and railroaded through Congress. On the other hand, a technical fix doesn’t do much.

Next week, a number of celebrities will join in an effort organized by an independent group to boost enrollment on the online exchanges, said a person familiar with the plan, who wasn’t authorized to speak publicly about it.
