I've had insurance for the last couple of years thanks only to obamacare. For many many years before that I had no coverage at all.I learned to manage my mental health care adequately with cheap generic prozac (I'm lucky that works for me) but lived in terror of something more serious. Something like heart problems or a cancer diagnosis. Or even just a broken bone or diagnostic tests.
So far I still haven't needed anything more than my cheap generics since I've been covered under obamacare. With any luck I'll make it all the way to Medicare and beyond without ever needing much expensive care. But if I don't, someone else in my shoes will. And it has given me great peace of mind to know that in an emergency it's there for whichever of us isn't lucky.
Is obamacare perfect? No. But many of it's problems could have been fixed if there weren't people determined to make it fail so it could be an election tool this year.
I'm sorry for those who are offended by reading this here. I think it's too important to keep quiet about.
