I have not mentioned this on DU but...this fucking crap would make it personal...MORE than personal.

My partner, of 32 years, would not have insurance if it were not for the ACA.

He was diagnosed with cancer (which then found had spread) on December 1st. Now, after having a chemo port installed AND a colostomy, he will begin his chemo next Wednesday.

The insurance is still not inexpensive under any circumstances but it is insurance and if he didn't have it, I'm not sure what we would do.

These filthy, evil, hate filled DEATH PANEL Pukes and Baggers are traitors to the American people.

Oh and...are you of the age for a colonoscopy? Get...it...done! My partner did not (in part due to several years of bad/worthless insurance) and now it may just kill him.

Think a colostomy is nothing...search colostomy and stoma...you do not want to go through this.
