Below is an excerpt from Public Law 111-148, The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act More commonly called Obama Care. I have underlined some items I find of special interest. Looks to me like we should have a lot of people getting jobs. I particularly like the part about "such sums as may [might] be necessary."
‘‘SEC. 399V–3. NATIONAL DIABETES PREVENTION PROGRAM.
