Nashville rally: Repeal Obamacare Make Death Great Again

[Tanuki]

..."ACA supporters at the Nashville rally, held in front of a West End office of two U.S. senators, said people will lose their health insurance, including those with pre-existing conditions, if the ACA is repealed.
Supporters held signs that said “Health care is a human right” and “Replace Trump, not ACA.”
Angela Sharp, of Franklin, said she would have died without coverage from the ACA.
Sharp had leukemia and needed a bone marrow transplant when she lost her job. She lost health insurance for her whole family and could not afford insurance from the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act, a federal law that allows a person to temporarily maintain health care coverage after employment ends.

“We had a two-income family. I could no longer work,” Sharp said. “So my husband had to reinvent himself. The loss of income, of employment — we would have gone bankrupt if it wasn’t for the ACA.”
“I want them to repair it, not replace it or repeal it,” Sharp said of the ACA.

Holding her daughter on her hip, Kristin Dillard, of Nashville, said she needs maintenance medication for ulcerative colitis, an inflammatory bowel disease.
Before the ACA was passed, she said she struggled to find insurance after she lost her job.
“No company would sell me any policy no matter how high I was willing to pay because I had a pre-existing condition,” Dillard said.
Dillard is now on her husband’s health insurance, but said she understands the challenges that people with pre-existing conditions may have.

“If the ACA is repealed, that is a clear statement that it is okay if people like me die,” Dillard said. “It’s a clear statement that it’s okay for people like my daughter to grow up without a mother and I’m not okay with that.”
