Now this is a complete stroke of genius which I couldn’t have cooked up for a political fiction novel.

Down in Louisville, as prisoners are being discharged from jail, they’re getting a little something extra by way of a going away present.

They’re being signed up for Obamacare.

After three months in jail on a theft charge, Vincent Garcia had prepared last week to collect his wallet and keys and turn in his orange scrubs upon release.

But the 26-year-old will leave jail with something else — free health insurance.

Louisville Metro Department of Corrections last week began holding daily sign-ups for exiting inmates, and Garcia was among those qualifying for the newly expanded Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act.

Why not?  They are all going straight onto unemployment, food stamps, housing assistance....you name it.  Obamacare is just the cherry on top.
