Thank goodness for the ACA [View all]

I fell and broke the humerus on my left arm. I will need surgery to repair it. I'm fortunate that I live in a state that expanded Medicaid, OR. I've been unemployed for a while now and I signed up in Dec. The hospital verified my coverage. So now I don't have to go completely broke with hospital bills.
