Graham Cassidy is moving quickly and looks like it will become law

Don't quit fighting for the ACA! But we all need to be pragmatic and plan for the loss of insurance off the exchanges and the end of financial support. It is unbelievable that this is happening.

I don't know what your situations are, but I am 57 (as of today), have pre-existing conditions and purchased a plan off the Colorado exchange. I could not risk the loss of insurance and took full time employment this month with a CA company who offers health insurance. It makes me sick that the exchanges, Medicaid expansion and premium credits will be gone. It makes me sick that lifetime limits and pre-existing condition clauses are back. It makes me sick that this country does not care about its citizens.

Make a plan.

7. 65 is 8 years away for me

That is quite awhile....

[Eliot Rosewater]

8. Sort of, medicaid plays a big part of your life as a senior, they are destroying Medicaid

I suspect by the time any of us get real old we will have a choice, live in the streets or rest homes that are barracks like in the military.

For each 100 old people there will be one part time orderly and one part time nurse.

17. I am glad you did not say Fuck it!

I am sick and fighting and am about to throw in the towel...they are beating me mentally (as well as physically and financially due to my awful health). I will not stop though! I called 13 senators AGAIN today, I
have been calling that many each day and I think they are beginning to recognize my voice through the sobs and hyperventilating. I had to buy more tissues earlier and my older dog is upset too (the GOP is bad from every living being). I say FUCK IT all day, every day and in several languages (really!). I have to keep doing it so that when I die soon I will know in my soul that I did my best. Fuck it, fuck them and fuck their offspring! FUCK the GOP!
