3. Nope. Don't know anyone that signed up on the insurance exchanges.

But, my ex-daughter-in-law in WV was seriously ill from brittle diabetes, from circulatory problems in her legs, high blood pressure and kidney damage. She was on the state's indigent program and doctor and specialist appointments were booked months in advance. She was able to get on the state's fledgling Medicaid Extended program in its infancy a couple of years ago and it literally saved her life and saved her leg from amputation due to being able to have timely medical care. If it hadn't been for Extended Medicaid, she would have remained in the state's inadequate poverty medical program and never gotten to see the specialists that saved her from severe medical complications.
