Repealing the ACA affects everyone

Let's list the ways. I'll start and please add to the list.

Repealing Obamacare would again allow insurance corporations to...

Deny you the ability to purchase insurance on the individual market based on your health condition.

Drop you from coverage from the individual market if you become ill.

Charge more for female coverage.

Limit your coverage to an arbitrary maximum amount. Once you hit that limit, you pay.

Deny covering your adult children under your plan up to age 26.

Charge you for preventive care, such as physicals, health screenings, flu shots, breast-feeding supplies and contraception.

as insurance pools get smaller and the cost for those who have no insurance will once more be spread among those who can pay.

But I believe it's the only way to prove that the R's are out to kill us all.

Until reality sets in, they'll just keep on the email BS scandals that the red states lap up.

The red states have to lose access to health care: They've proven that that they're too stoopid to catch on unless they lose something absolutely necessary to their survival.

Nothing short of that will cut through the fake news.

Fine. You don't like being called stoopid.

Voting for this monster is stoopid, and the red states did it.

Stoopid is as stoopid does.
