Twitter has proved itself to be the first place where people go for information because it is practically live and in real time and the viraling effect enables the reader to create an awareness about the popularity of news topics. More than that, anyone can tweet as long as an account is maintained - it is indeed freedom of speech or freedom to tweet.

In 2013, health care and health insurance was one hot topic that twitter users were wrestling with, reports Kansascity.com. Amid the discussion of Obamacare's health reform was employer dissatisfaction about hefty employee insurance pay to come from the places of work. Criticism about a further freeze on hiring was on people's minds.

The Des Moines Register reported, "The announcement affects people who entered their information into healthcare.gov and received a notice that they might qualify for Medicaid. The federal computer system was supposed to transfer their applications to a state computer system, but that transfer has been complicated by technical problems. The timing is critical, because the new insurance coverage is supposed to take effect on New Year's Day, which is Wednesday."

I think it is going to cost Americans billions to get this going. Another government mess.

-@simonefaithful

This law will devastate the middle class.

-@briansitzes

Just wishing we had universal health care right about now.
