Sucks for your SIL (who was furloughed? Under threat of furlough? Still working?) but fighting FOR something like the ACA was worth it.

She has a number of health issues. How will she survive? She will likely be a 1099 employee responsible for her own health insurance. Is she just supposed to die faster? If we don’t fight now, then when?
