From the time I was 23 until I was 42. IIRC I only died three times in that period. It might have been four or five times, I was not really keeping track.

Did they reject medicaid expansion, or is there still a gap? A guy I know was just talking about paying the fine this year. He said the subsidy is too small and the coverage too crappy.
