I Believe Few Understand Obamacare

I don't either but I think Trump just nuked the ACA. I thought he was just gonna let it implode.

He did that because if he actually did his job it wouldn't implode. And we chronically ill folks are the ones who have to deal with the fallout now.

What an amazing president.

@TotalMiss I'd sure love to see that assistance, because I sure as hell haven't seen any of it. And what of the people just above the poverty line?

Have you ever dealt with chronic illness?

@TotalMiss That's not how medicare works, or how disability works, nor is it how poverty is defined. You're really good at misconstruing things. 👌

@TotalMiss Oh yes, totally lying. I'm making all of this up just for an online argument. I've even meticulously crafted this online persona here for the last, what, 7 months or so? And even manufactured my appearance and story for when I've met a fellow SWer in real life multiple times and introduced them to my family.

Maybe you should just try pulling your head out of your ass for a moment. Might help you breathe.

@TotalMiss There are those who work at low wage jobs and aren't able to afford health insurance without some sort of subsidies which the ACA currently provides.

@TotalMiss I don't think we're talking about the same thing. Low income isn't the same as poverty. You may not be rich but still upper middle class can afford lots of luxurious that low to moderate income families can only dream of. And there are working people whose employers don't offer health benefits.

@TotalMiss One ER visit can cost upwards of $2000.00. How does a person afford to pay the doctor? How did your family pay?

All I'm saying is that the ACA has helped countless people and Trump in his wisdom is sabotaging it without a plan B. This is totally idiotic.

@SimplyTracie that’s exactly it. Even if they have Medicare or disability, it can cost them that much.

@TotalMiss Yes but its is that way now Don't you see? So how is Trump helping to aid this problem? How does killing parts of the ACA help?

@SimplyTracie all because it’s Obamacare. Trump don’t care to find ways to improve it, so that those in need can still be covered. It says a lot.

@NaturalBeautyQueen I agree 100% with you.

@TotalMiss that’s the point. Thousands of innocent people fighting for their lives to save Obamacare, while Trump sleeps soundly in his bed. Continue to speak so highly for your selfish president.

@TotalMiss okay, do you have Obamacare, I see? Since you seem to know so much about it.

@TotalMiss apparently you know how they feel, right? You do have Obamacare, don’t you?

Because I don’t have Obamacare. But at least I take time to listen to those that do have it and need it. I know people on it and say they need it. This president don’t even have a plan b? I can’t imagine having a chronic illness and depend on ACA for survival. And to have it be swept under them without a plan. I’m worried.
