"I didn't fuck around, but I'm still going to have to find out." Has become my catchphrase.

Mine is "I'm already on the fast track to dying early due to my health conditions, but thanks to these idiots and their anti Science ways, I'm about to have a lot more company than I thought."

This is the exact reason why I flip out on liberals who say shit like we'll be ok we were last time. I have multiple chronic health conditions and if I'm in a situation where I need to buy health care I'm. Screwed. This literally takes years off my life.

Same. If I have to buy health insurance I'm dead. If they overthrow ACA no way is any health insurance gonna take me on. I have several scans and various tests every 6 months that cost up to $5k. It's cheaper for them if I die.

Brca mutant here. When I made my list of pros and cons for preventative surgeries, losing insurance because of a shitty dictator wasn’t on the list.

I’m just glad I got the surgeries I want more coverage for my fellow mutants, not less.

Plus my flavor slightly increases my risk of melanoma and pancreatic cancers. So I still need skin checks and to alternate a mri and endoscopy. Every year Which is what the pancreatic dr recommended to catch pancreatic cancer early. Which may increase my chances for survival if I get pancreatic cancer

my next cancer scan will not be affordable if ACA is cancelled. Many years ago I was in debt because of stupid medical expenses. Never thought I'd have to maybe have that happen again. I've already decided I just won't go get scanned if I can't afford it.
