(100,133 posts)He married a woman with a serious chronic disease. ACA passed. He and his new wife moved to another state without checking anything about how that state handles ACA. He signed up for a new health insurance provider without checking anything about what medications were in their formulary of approved medications. Did I mention her disease was serious and chronic?
He never did like Obama. Troubles with the insurer and their formulary were somehow all Obama’s fault. He went absolutely apeshit here, he went ballistic. He called Obama a Piece of Shit Used Car Salesman (which we have abbreviated to POSUCS) because ACA did not live up to his single-payer fantasies of how the world ought to be.
The thing is, there were literally hundreds of DUers who replied to his rant in an attempt to assist and to inject some reality. I was one of them — every single year my husband goes thru this routine regarding medications, and it’s just what you have to do if you have some kind of chronic ailment.
Fellow DUers offered sympathy and some pretty valuable ideas, but all to no avail. I hope that ultimately it all worked out for Will and wife.
