In reply to the discussion: The Uninsured Are Turning Against Obamacare. That's A Problem [View all]wordpix
(18,652 posts)This is true. The best way to tell this story is to let people who've been helped by ACA tell their stories and make ads based on them. Maybe we'll see this soon as the '14 elections near. There are such people featured on vids at whitehouse.gov but not that many people go to the WH website to watch.
BTW, I am one such person who has been helped tremendously by the ACA. I had perfect health until age 61, and when I got a diagnosis of a serious problem, my insurance co. said they would drop me "due to the ACA" once they started to get some bills. I got help from my Dem Congressman's office so was able to continue coverage for another month until I got ACA insurance. Otherwise, I would have been dropped with a gap in my coverage at a crucial time when I needed diagnostic tests and treatment. And I would not have been able to get other coverage due to my "preexisting condition." If I paid out of pocket for all my medical care, I would lose my house and retirement savings at a time when I could not work due to my health. Then what? What solutions do the repugs have to that? Nothing. The "O" in GOP stands for a big ZERO.
