Jan 2017

Obamacare didn't offer perks to those of us that already had insurance that we couldn't, and still can't, afford to use. My premiums did not go down. My co-pays and deductibles went up. I still don't use the insurance unless it's a true emergency.

Which is why I was never solidly behind the ACA as a permanent solution. I was glad to support getting more people covered, if that meant they could afford to use the insurance, which I can't. I wanted, still want, single-payer as a better solution.

So, if they want to repeal the ACA, I want a concurrent replacement: universal, single-payer, not-for-profit health CARE.
