General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: Just got my ACA premium notice for next year [View all]I have genuine empathy for the OP. However, to imply that the current conundrum=30 years without coverage is to suspend belief. I am not a cheerleader for Obama and believe the only solution is Single Payer, but.... to the OP: there are many people worse off than you. I always look at things this way. I just broke 2 limbs on opposite sides in a freak accident. I have shitty insurance, but I know I will come out of this. I still have my head, and count my other blessings as well.
And why does being a widow have any bearing here? Many of us here are lifelong singles, divorcees, widows, etc.
I also have a feeling that the situation is not so dire. By the 15th, I think you will be breathing a lot easier.
Why don't we all expend our energy here on making progressive change in the US? Fighting one another here on DU is not the answer.
To the OP: God bless you, and hope you get good news this weekend.
