Nov 12

I have posted several times here that the ACA literally saved my life. At the time I started looking for insurance I was working a temp job and they did not offer insurance. I had a heart attack several years later, needed stents, and the cost was manageable through the ACA. Thankfully I was eligible for Medicare earlier this year and I hopped right on. But my heart goes out for you and all the others who are in a terrible fix now.

Whatever Schumer is/is not doing behind the scenes, his communication failures compel removal Arazi Nov 12 #57

I couldn't agree more. hamsterjill Nov 12 #68

Why do you say "we didn't get SNAP? onenote Nov 12 #42

I heard on TV that the Supreme Court has temporarily blocked the administration Autumn Nov 12 #44

Yes. But the OP was about the legislation onenote Nov 12 #52

Do you think that new congressperson will be sworn in today? n/t Just_Vote_Dem Nov 12 #56

Well, they aren't getting any of that today, and Democrats already caved. hamsterjill Nov 12 #84

So using 42 million americans hunger as leverage is okay with you? onenote Nov 12 #91

Because the Democrats shouldn't have started it if they weren't going to finish it. hamsterjill Nov 12 #95

So you see no benefit from forcing the repubs to oppose extension of the ACA enhanced benefits. onenote Nov 12 #97

Yesterday Rick Wilson said from his experience he knew that Democrats are gullible. Ya think? flashman13 Nov 12 #43
