Barack Obama

So many people are chained to their jobs because of healthcare coverage fears. Not being dependent on your employer for healthcare will be incredibly liberating.

As a cancer survivor like the person in this article, I felt chained to my job. Now I know I will be able to get insurance no matter what I decide to do. Obamacare has given me freedom to a profound extent.

The thing is, I hadn't really thought about how it would benefit me personally. When I was going to healthcare rallies, I was doing it for my brother, who as a self-employed man, was never able to afford health insurance. Then he developed medical problems and with a pre-existing condition, he couldn't buy it even if he had the money. The ACA will save my brother's life. What I didn't realize was how much it will improve my life.
