In the news yesterday, the President of the United States announced that 7.1 Million Americans, including this blogger, signed up for health insurance through Healthcare.gov. That number actually exceeded the original projection made last year the CBO (the Congressional Budget Office). For myself, I did receive the tax credit for my monthly premium which reduced it by a whopping 92.7% for the plan I selected and I am grateful for having health insurance for the first time in nearly 11 years.
It was also reported yesterday that for only the third time during the past 12 years of war in Afghanistan there were 0 (zero) American combat deaths last month. My hope is that there are none for the rest of the war and every single soldier returns home.
Last but not least, Major League Baseball began its 2014 season on Monday (March 31) and the St. Louis Cardinals won their first game of the season beating the Cincinnati Reds in Cincinnati 1-0 on a solo home run hit by Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina.
Live Long and Prosper
