23. Oh the irony of being a working class right winger...

"So, I will now search for work that will make the government happy if I want to qualify for something we can afford. The customer service rep told me my dream shop just "sounded like a hobby anyway". I bet he has health insurance..."

Because the GOP legislatures think that working people who can't afford insurance are just another form of dead-beat and need to get a second job. "So we won't LET you benefit from the ACA, even though you could."

"...The only thing that I know of that has changed is The "Affordable" Care act. You think maybe they should have read what was in it, and thought about how it would affect the working class who work for private employers?"

The ACA DOES COVER people like her. The GOP state legislatures won't let it. Tell her. Get her to look in the mirror.
