was President then and the ACA had existed. When I explained that in my support in pro-ACA thread, my mocker here at DU then doubled down on what had torn my heart and life apart because I dared to support the ACA, until I was in tears. I wasn't telling to garner sympathy, and my mocker had not one word of condolence for the death and loss, just attack. Rabid ideologues don't care about flesh and blood and pain, only in being the winner in an argument. Never again will I listen to a word from that crowd, I'm not going to expose myself for their ridicule. Keep going, Riqster, you are speaking for those who cannot endure any more pain on this subject. Thanks for telling what has happened to you and your family in your powerful posts.
