Republicans answer...So What...

Shared from a friend's wall- not my quote.

'At least 27,000. 27 thousand dead Americans. The ACA is the ONLY way I was able to leave my job after a decade, to have 2 business owners in our family and it allowed me to get an IUD (a $900 cost w/insurance) for free, which covered me for 5 years, that's ~$3K in birth control pill costs. The first call I made after the election was to my doctor to replace my IUD asap. Apparently, I was one of thousands of women doing the same thing. The ACA has not been perfect in TX, but "the problem is in hating the Affordable Care Act, the state is leaving on the table as much as $100 billion of federal money over 10 years - money that would pay for health insurance for more than a million of its working poor." Ask those who have ACA insurance if they want it repealed, to go back to the old days (when I got slapped with a $600/month maternity rider, or you could be denied insurance or kicked off for pretty much any reason)? The resounding answer is HELL NO.'
