Yes, in less than a month we’ve already gone from “brosurance” to “healthy ho’s,” as sex workers organize registration drives for Obamacare. CNN Money reports:

In the all-cash, off-the-books sex industry, workers can be particularly high risk and insurance is often out of reach. Many sex workers — a broad term that can refer to a number of services, including sexual massage, prostitution, and escort and dominatrix work — consider themselves self-employed entrepreneurs who can’t afford to purchase healthcare. But that could all change with the Affordable Care Act.

Fortunately, a Bay Area sex worker who goes by the name “Siouxie Q” organized a sign-up drive called the “Healthy Ho’s Party” to boost enrollment among her co-workers, signing up nearly all of her 40 attendees.

Think you've seen it all w/ #Obamacare? Well, here comes a 'Healthy Ho's Party', #healthcare for prostitutes http://t.co/resVuiZ780
