This afternoon I received an email from the White House asking me to share my "Obamacare Disaster Story" with the president, and I found that I just couldn't help myself, so I went to the White House website and wrote a response. I wanted to share with you all what I decided to write:
"Oh man, Obamacare has been a complete disaster! Let me tell you how.
I was able to stay on my parents' health plan until I was 26, which meant that I didn't have to pull myself up by my bootstraps and either go into massive debt to pay for medical care or ignore potentially life-threatening problems.
"Oh man, Obamacare has been a complete disaster! Let me tell you how.
I was able to stay on my parents' health plan until I was 26, which meant that I didn't have to pull myself up by my bootstraps and either go into massive debt to pay for medical care or ignore potentially life-threatening problems.
Then, when I couldn't be on my parents' health plan anymore, Obamacare made it so that I could very easily go online to healthcare.gov and choose an affordable plan with almost no deductible and a monthly premium I could handle, and the poor insurance company couldn't refuse to treat my pre-existing conditions, so I was able to continue to get care for my chronic issues and have actually seen improvement since I have been able to see the medical professionals I need to see without worrying about the costs.
Even now Obamacare is an utter failure, because I am able to see a therapist and only have to pay a $5.00 copay! That therapist is helping my manage my stress better, and even develop strategies to change my attitude about my health and diet. If it weren't for Obamacare, I would still have to suck it up and deal with it all myself, which as we all know is the American Way! What a shame.
Finally, you are absolutely right that Obamacare has led to fewer health options for me! For instance, I no longer have the option to go without coverage, crossing my fingers and hoping I don't get sick! I also no longer have the option to go bankrupt in order to receive the most basic care, or the option to wait until a minor health problem is out of control and requires a costly trip to the emergency room! How dare the government take away my worries! For shame.
To summarize, Mr. President, please kindly take your proposal to repeal the Affordable Care Act and stick it right where it belongs: as far up your orange, lying, Nazi ass as you can get it!"
To all my wonderful readers who have been helped tremendously by the passage of the Affordable Care Act, I would encourage you to go to https://www.whitehouse.gov/obamacare-share-your-story and give them a piece of your mind. Even if it doesn't change that oaf's mind, at least it will make you feel a little bit better :)
