Publisher's Summary:

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is the most significant overhaul to health care industry in decades. It includes unprecedented reforms to the American health care system. The implementation of this new health care law, otherwise known as Obamacare is at the height of concern for many who still don't understand its implications. Among the sea of new information to sift through, there are also misconceptions about the expectations and implementations of this law.

Whether you need health coverage or have it already you may be concerned about the new regulations and how they will affect you. Many low to middle income Americans will have access to more affordable health insurance but those making above 400% of the federal poverty will likely pay more.

Although the law has been rolled out over several years, the most notable changes take effect in January of 2014. Included in these changes are rights and protections for you, the consumer. These protections, do not apply to every insurance policy equally.

This audiobook is designed to help you navigate the changes in policies and the new requirements for individuals and businesses. We'll explain the changes being implemented and you'll discover if you qualify for reduced premiums, what will happen if you select not to purchase health care, and how to make compare plans and policies in your state.

Informative. But I never did like Obama. So it's hard to read or see anything pertaining to him.

Most of this I already knew. Obama care needs ...

Most of this I already knew. Obama care needs to be done away with and start a new health system. Obama also needs to be impeached with the care.

Great Resource for everyone!

I really learned a lot from this book. I have health insurance through my employer so I have not had the chance to look over the options available through Obamacare. I wanted to learn how this new plan would effect my family. This book has a lot of useful links for reference and explains everything in an easy to read format. If you are confused about Obamacare or health insurance in general this book will help you!

Obamacare Without The Hype

Most of us get a lot of our information from the media, and that information is slanted according to the political associations the particular media outlet has with the various powers that be.

It is a relief to hear what our different healthcare options are and will be under the new Obamacare laws without all the hype. Using this book, you will be able to understand the rules and regulations, and you will also be able to intelligently choose the healthcare option that will best fit your family's need and pocketbook.

Well researched and written in plain language than anyone can understand. Highly recommended to anyone still puzzled about the new healthcare laws.

Makes Decisions Easier

I got very upset with my insurance agent because he did not go through the training yet. He told me there was a long wait to get into the " Navigator" training. This book has been published just in time. It helps you to put the decisions back in your hands. Don't let someone over the phone who doesn't know you, make these decisions. I feel empowered now to make my own decisions.

Title: For the Next Generation

Subtitle: A Wake-Up Call to Solving Our Nation's Problems

Author: Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Julie M. Fenster

Narrator: Debbie Wasserman Schultz

Format: Unabridged

Length: 8 hrs and 31 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-16-13

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 4 votes

Genres: Nonfiction, Politics

Publisher's Summary:

Congresswoman and Democratic National Committee Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz challenges the nation to resolve tough issues for future generations.

America has witnessed the dangers that come with shortsightedness, writes Debbie Wasserman Schultz in For the Next Generation. If we want to ensure prosperity for ourselves and an improved way of life for young Americans, we have to change, starting now. We must:

Yet these important issues have been sidelined by gridlock in a Congress that is too concerned about the next election to worry about the future. The group of Americans who have the most to lose from this dysfunction are the ones least represented in government: America's children. For the Next Generation is a call to action, one mother's challenge to her congressional colleagues and to the rest of the nation to adopt a parent's perspective for doing right by kids.

Marked by clarity and by Debbie's characteristic poise, this polemic is informed by the congresswoman's own personal and professional experiences. It digs deep, exposing very real threats that America faces as a result of its failure to confront tough decisions. Debbie conveys a vision of an America that has learned hard lessons from its recent past, an America galvanized by a renewed sense of purpose for applying that wisdom through forward-thinking policies on education, civil rights, and foreign policy. She describes how she will fight to overcome the legislative obstacles that inhibit progress, and she calls upon fair-minded Americans to lend their own strengths to securing a better tomorrow for the next generation.

Members Reviews:

Today's Politics With A Woman's View

What made the experience of listening to For the Next Generation the most enjoyable?

The view of today's politics from Debbie's unique point of view and take on all things political in Washington, Florida, and the fight for women's rights.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Debbie Wasserman Schultz because this was her book and her championing of women's rights in the political arena.

Which character as performed by Debbie Wasserman Schultz was your favorite?

Debbie Wasserman Schultz

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Today's politics from a woman's view.

Any additional comments?

Unlike some of the Amazon comments I read about this book, I did enjoy listening to this book. And the main reason was mainly to hear about today's issues in the political arena from a very experienced female congresswoman. I count myself as mainly an independent and do not adhere to strictly Democratic or Republican views. I feel this gives myself a unique position where I can objectively look at a politician and what they stand for. I found Congresswoman Schultz's take on things interesting and informative. I did enjoy this book and applaud her stand for women in today's society. I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in hearing about what is going on in Washington currently and wanting to be informed about today's issues involving lawmaking about women's rights as well.

Title: Secrets and Leaks

Subtitle: The Dilemma of State Secrecy

Author: Rahul Sagar

Narrator: Michael Butler Murray

Format: Unabridged

Length: 10 hrs and 32 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-13-13

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 2 votes

Genres: Nonfiction, Politics

Publisher's Summary:

Secrets and Leaks examines the complex relationships among executive power, national security, and secrecy. State secrecy is vital for national security, but it can also be used to conceal wrongdoing. How then can we ensure that this power is used responsibly? Typically, the onus is put on lawmakers and judges, who are expected to oversee the executive. Yet, because these actors lack access to the relevant information and the ability to determine the harm likely to be caused by its disclosure, they often defer to the executive's claims about the need for secrecy. As a result, potential abuses are more often exposed by unauthorized disclosures published in the press.

But should such disclosures, which violate the law, be condoned? Drawing on several cases, Rahul Sagar argues that though whistleblowing can be morally justified, the fear of retaliation usually prompts officials to act anonymously - that is, to "leak" information. As a result, it becomes difficult for the public to discern when an unauthorized disclosure is intended to further partisan interests. Because such disclosures are the only credible means of checking the executive, Sagar writes, they must be tolerated. However, the public should treat such disclosures skeptically and subject irresponsible journalism to concerted criticism.

Members Reviews:

A most enlightening book!

The delimma of balancing unauthorised disclosure and the Executive's responsibility to act in the name of national security is a challenge that will not be resolved any time soon. But Sagar provides a very informative analysis of this delimma. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and consider it an essential reading material for anyone interested in national security affairs.

This was more like a text book

This was more like a text book. I was looking for some interesting true stories. I didn't finish the book

Fascinating and timely!

Extremely well researched and very timely. This book is a must read if you want to understand the intricacies of the current debate about state secrecy.

Title: Countdown to Terror

Subtitle: The Top-Secret Information that Could Prevent the Next Terrorist Attack on America - and How the CIA Has Ignored It

Author: Curt Weldon

Narrator: Alpha Trivette

Format: Unabridged

Length: 5 hrs and 53 mins

Language: English

Release date: 07-02-13

Publisher: Audible Studios

Genres: Nonfiction, Politics

Publisher's Summary:

If someone knew when and where the next major terrorist attack was to be to take place against America, wouldn't the US intelligence community want to know about it? In Countdown to Terror, US Congressman Curt Weldon, proves that "Ali," an informant with access to the minutes of the most secret Iranian councils does have details about many plots against the US. In fact, he has outright predicted - days, weeks, or months in advance - numerous terrorist plots that were actually carried out our thwarted at the last minute. Still, the CIA, the DIA, the NSA, and the FBI in the US have all repeatedly refused to listen to him, even going as far as to threaten him for his communications with Congressman Weldon. "Ali" now warns of an even greater threat than the 11th of September 2001 - a plot called "The 12th Imam" - which the US intelligence community must act upon, or face catastrophic consequences. Congressman Weldon exposes a deeply dysfunctional culture and perverse political agendas in American intelligence that are endangering American security. He also explains why the recent restructuring of the intelligence agencies will do nothing to fix the country's broken and failing intelligence services.

Editorial Reviews:

Curt Weldon, a former US congressman and vice-chair of the Armed Services Committee and the House Homeland Security Committee, presents a diatribe full of distrust and caution directed toward the intelligence community and the US public respectively. Weldon claims to have an informant named "Ali" (a pseudonym) with deep ties to international terrorist agencies who Weldon has received many alarming and far-reaching warnings from. Alpha Trivette voices this alarm with calm reserve and authoritative tone that aptly conveys the gravity of Weldons subject matter.

Members Reviews:

Two Stars

Old information somewhat useful

Half the story?

This book is on a very timely and vital topic of international relations for the United States. On the positive side it points up the importance of Iran which has been a covert adversary of the US over the last 20 years. The book presents a lot of interesting information about what is happing in Iran today. However, one does not get the whole history of US relations with Iraq since the downfall of the Shah--much of which is undoubtedly secret. Also, a central contention of the book is that the CIA is ignoring a vital source of information about Iran, but we never get the CIA counterpoint to this contention or at least something approximating their reasoning. As a reader I felt I had gained some insight, but was missing importance perspective on the subject as a whole.

Give Congressman Weldon your ear please.

He trid to tell people that Muhammed Atta's cell in Brooklyn was known a year before 911, deaf ears. That is why he wrote this book. Give him a chance to tell you what he found! Weldon writes even better than he speaks. A presentation last month in Phoenix was moving, full of personal anecdotes about 911. But in order to move on, learn, and prevent, we need facts, dates, and names. This book provides those in abundance.

Lebensverändernd

Ich bin 17 Jahre alt. Dieses Buch war ein Weckruf, der mich aus der Lethargie des Nichtwissens holte und mich nicht mehr loslässt. Einiges wird sich ändern. Ich fühle mich gewappnet mir das Leben zu erarbeiten, welches ich will.

Klare Aussage

Der Autor macht ein klare Aussage, an was unsere Gesellschaft krankt, und zwar an Inaktivität und Freizeitstress. Wohlstand läßt sich nicht durch Politikerversprechen schaffen, sondern durch harte und produktive Arbeit.

Title: Letters to President Obama

Subtitle: Americans Share Their Thoughts and Dreams with the First African-American President

Author: Hanes Walton, Jr. (editor), Josephine Allen (editor), Sherman Puckett (editor), Donald Deskins, Jr. (editor)

Narrator: Fred Sanders

Format: Unabridged

Length: 15 hrs and 31 mins

Language: English

Release date: 03-15-13

Publisher: Audible Studios

Genres: Nonfiction, Politics

Publisher's Summary:

No one could have predicted even two years ago that an African American would take the oath of office as president of the United States in January of 2009. For many, the occasion marks the climax to the civil rights movement and the fulfillment of Martin Luther King, Jr.'s dream that Americans could be judged on the content of their character and not the color of their skin.

This collection, with about 400 letters from Americans of all walks of life, is being created to stand as a symbol of this exciting moment in history. Written by citizens themselves, it will put on display the range of emotions and aspirations Americans are willing to share with President Barack Obama.

Central to the book is the African American experience, but Americans of every race, color, gender, and age are represented. From children and seniors, from cities and farms, all have something to share with their country, themselves, and President Barack Obama.

Editorial Reviews:

The national figures of today have the grand stages of radio, television, and now the Internet. The population of the country still does sometimes resort to more humble means of communication, though: letters. There have been letters to the president since the inauguration of the first, George Washington. This tradition has never failed to be common for people wanting to reach out to their nation's Commander in Chief. Rarely has there been a such a thorough chance to hear the words of your fellow countrymen before the compilation of those found in Letters to President Obama. Narrator Fred Sanders brings a unique vitality to every penned work, from the common to the outstanding. Listen and celebrate the many pieces of individual history.

interesting part of our American history

I found the book was great. LOVED it. Our president is a man who is very interesting indeed. Everyone should try this book.

Reading about Obama is interesting.

I thought this was an interesting book, but it gave letters in general and for some reason I expected a little more and seemed disappointed.

POTUS #44

Begins with information about other collections of letters to former Presidents that made me consider looking into them. This features a collection of letters to President Obama on a number of topics by a number of people.

letters,we get letters,we get stacks and stacks of letters!

what an innovative and interesting book.this is definitely an historical document. all obama fans,including me,will love it.imagine,it was a freebie.

The Charlatan - A man with no adminstrative experience...

It was sad to read all those starry eyed letters from true believers, who ignored the fact that this man they elected because he was black, glib, and great at reading a teleprompter, had no experience and they were entrusting the most difficult job in the world to him. Unbelievable! They ignored his Communist parents, his Muslim upbringing, his Communist mentors and friends throughout college, to say nothing of his associations with mentors and terrorists who hate America. His presidency has proved to be a disaster because his economic prescriptions are the same ones he believed in when he was in college - forget it that they have never worked.

Title: Occupying Wall Street

Subtitle: The Inside Story of an Action that Changed America

Author: Writers for the 99%, A. J. Bauer, Christine Baumgarthuber, Jed Bickman, Jeremy Breecher

Narrator: Kevin Readdean

Format: Unabridged

Length: 5 hrs and 38 mins

Language: English

Release date: 03-08-13

Publisher: OR Books

Genres: Nonfiction, Politics

Publisher's Summary:

The inside story of the protest that has given birth to America's most important progressive movement in a half century.

In a vivid, fast-paced narrative, the key events of the occupation are described: the pepper spraying of young women corralled between plastic fences by the NYPD; the mass arrests on the Brooklyn Bridge; the victory on October 14th when an announced "clean up" of the square was abandoned by a mayor's office fearful of a PR disaster; and the eventual storming of the occupation that brought it to an abrupt end. Woven throughout are stories of daily life in the square focusing on how the kitchen, library, media center, clean-up, hospital, and decision-making at the General Assembly functioned, all in the words of the people who were there.

The future course of Occupy Wall Street remains unclear. But one thing is starkly evident: Under the banner "We are the 99%" the protest has given birth to America's most important progressive movement since the civil rights marches half a century ago. This is the story of that beginning.

Writers for the 99% is a group of writers and researchers, active in supporting Occupy Wall Street, who came together to create this book. A list of all those contributing will appear at the back of the book.

All profits from this book will be donated to Occupy Wall Street.

Members Reviews:

an interesting and unique perspective

For someone who wasn't able to keep track of events during the occupy movements, this book serves as an excellent executive summary. It also includes several slice-of-life stories that bring the movement into a clearer focus that perhaps wasn't observable with traditional media.

Voices From the Ho polioi in culture

Having the original 'Voices From the 99 Percent' autographed and (as being edited) by Lenny Flank, I find this book to be very accurate. The question is, "what do we have for a future?" We live with headline after headline capturing attention, for the moment, but as we may realize, little changes. Sited from page 78:, from the book 'A Promise to Methuselah' Wesley Clark recounted conversations that The Secretary of Defence has outlined the distruction of seven countries. The seven countries are Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Somalia, Libia, Sudan and Iran.

The political muse continues:

"The budget should be balanced,

The treasury should be filled,

Public debt should be reduced,

And assistance to foreign lands

Should be curtailed,

Least Rome become bankrupt.

People must again learn to work,

Instead of living on public assistance."

Cicero 55 B.C.

Much better than I had expected

Much better than I had expected, as it weaves together many essays from participants which, when taken as a whole, provide a profound analysis and historiography of the movement (sort of like Occupy itself). This book remains essential reading for activists, simply because other moments will present themselves in our future when we'll need to grapple with the many questions raised. Among other things, the future movement will need to solve the issue of occupying a particular spot, yet also being able to go out from that spot to do marches, join up with strike actions, etc.
