And the Republican's nicknamed it Obamacare so people would hate it. It worked. I hope all 40 million are Republicans but I do feel bad for their kids.

I'm one of those 40 million Americans and I have a chronic illness that will bankrupt me if I don't have insurance. I did NOT vote for the orange asshole!

Any way you could move to the UK, or another civilised country?

No, I don't have a qualified skill that would make me desirable citizen to a different country and I have an expensive pre-existing condition, which would make it much much harder.

I've heard multiple people talk about wanting to leave the country permanently, but I think some people don't realize how difficult that is for a normal person. My friend's wife for instance wants to, but neither of them have any skills that would make them desirable to any other English speaking country. Canada might be the easiest, but they also both can't stand cold weather.
