20. I mentioned that little fact to my sister (she is 57) a few months ago.

Sep 2017

This hasn't dawned on many people who are in that age group, healthy and have insur through their employer. I was a teacher until I became ill and had to stop (without healthcare of course) and know very well how every penny I saved on my small teacher salary for 15 years was used up almost immediately. Now my healthcare costs will come out of HER and my 83 year old parents' savings. Do you have any idea how shitty I feel about that?! Fortunately I will die sooner rather than later and they won't have to spend all of it on me. In the meantime I have once again been calling and crying to Congressional phone staffers in the House and Senate off and on for 8 months now. The GOP is slowly but surely killing me by adding more stress which adds to my physical issues. This is purposeful genocide of Americans!
