As we reported on June 10, President Obama has ordered that seasonal firefighters be offered the opportunity to purchase health insurance. According to the Wall Street Journal, quoting an unnamed administration official, access to the insurance will begin this month. Here is the poll:
Will seasonal firefighters be provided access to health insurance in the month of July, 2012?
- No (70%, 144 Votes)
- Yes (30%, 61 Votes)
Total Voters: 205

July? No.

I’d guess it might be delayed till after the election. Will it happen, though? I’m sure it will, but then I’m assuming Romney will sink himself. Timeframe is a whole ‘nother item.
