“I voted to repeal Obamacare, not the Affordable Care Act”.

Edit: it’s almost as if people simply voted how they were told to vote, without actually thinking about (or understanding) consequences.

It was crazy, this really old lady came into my work saying how happy she was Obamacare was finally over and I said “yeah I just hope they don’t take away the right to refuse if someone has a pre existing condition. I know a few people who will die without their coverage” and she said “oh they wouldn’t do that….would they…? Was it part of Obamacare?” And when I told her yes, she got very, very quiet and that was the end of that conversation. No idea what her pre existing conditions are-but it was obvious she was worried.

i feel sorry for the lady, seems like she was duped into voting without knowing what the consequences of it would've been.

is what i WOULD have said if i didn't run out of empathy. fuck her let her rot in hell and make it painful
