On this episode of Political Talk, we are joined by guest contributor Denise Guerra. We discuss the Affordable Care Act - the updates from President Obama's speech and new information about healthcare.gov - and the future of the Internet and the FCC.

President Obama originally promised that Americans could keep theinsurance policies they purchased, if they wanted to, but that turned out not to be the case. In a speech on Nov. 14, however, President Obama took action that allows people whose policies had been cancelled to keep their policies into 2014. We also discuss whether the government was ready to take on a technological project to the scale of healthcare.gov.

Net neutrality is in the news once again. Jenna DeNight explains what it is and why it is important. We also discuss what the FCC may be in charge of in the future because of technological advances.
