In reply to the discussion: My turn to get on my high horse about ACA [View all]Walk away
(9,494 posts)78. I was starting to believe I was the only one benefitting from the ACA...
After a lifetime of paying for health insurance my insurance company had raised my premiums and lowered my coverage so much that it simply didn't pay anymore.
I am not paying much less per month now but in the past 3 months I have received real health care for the first time in over a decade.
Will, I am so happy you can finally feel secure in your care and I know what that feels like.
I'd like to thank the President again and every Congress Critter who risked their seats voting to insure me and the millions of people with pre-existing conditions who now have health and peace of mind.
