ACA: My Experience
I'll keep this brief. Yesterday I had a nodule surgically removed at Hackensack University Medical Center. I'm fine. The biopsy said it was benign. MY POINT: I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO AFFORD the GYN appointment that found the nodule, the mammograms, the ultrasounds, the surgical consult, the history and physical by my primary physician and lab tests for clearance, the cardiology consult, the stress test, the anesthesiology, the surgery itself, and the follow-up consult with pathology report WITHOUT THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT. I would have been bankrupt or denied medical service without ability to finance my care. My personal experience is enough for me to advocate for others to either continue the ACA, improve it, or REPEAL AND REPLACE WITH SINGLE PAYOR INSURANCE (a/k/a Medicare for All).
