Our President has Declared Today (April Fools Day, not Kidding) the AHA (ObamaCare) is a Success.

The facts are not all in.  But for the little we do know about actual numbers and stats (no real data yet provided from the Obama administration)  regarding the Affordable Health Care Act, we have to break it down first, as follows:

President said, " More then 3.1 million young adults...have gained insurance under under this law..."

The Problem Grows - Drug Addiction

The current Vermont Governor speaks out (Article here) about a serious problem confronting every state in our nation:
"In every corner of our state, heroin and opiate drug addiction threatens us. It threatens the safety that has always blessed our state. It is a crisis bubbling just beneath the surface that may be invisible to many, but is already highly visible to law enforcement, medical personnel, social service and addiction treatment providers, and too many Vermont families. It requires all of us to take action before the quality of life that we cherish so much is compromised".
Vermont is not alone in this crisis.
