God Bless Barack Obama! I think the day will come that the ACA will be as revered as Social Security [View all]
My husband's company has always had good insurance, so Obama did nothing for me,right?
Well, right now I have cancer.
Thanks to the ACA -
My husband can change jobs at any and get the same good insurance.
My doctors communicate with me and each other electronically. Sitting here right now looking more like a pin cushion than a hedgehog, not having to repeat blood work is a big plus.
My case is supervised by a doctor who isn't being overworked and closely monitored by a Nurse Practitioner who has time to ask questions - a change in medical practice that offers better care at a lower price.
Info is being gathered and examined to determine best practice for all kinds of conditions - including mine.
There are no limits on my medications - I'll have all the chemo I need.
There are no limits on any hospital care - something I'm hoping to avoid, but hey, who knows what's ahead?
1. I know it's not single payer, but SS is a different animal than when it first came out; I expect good changes ahead.
2. This isn't meant as a sympathy post - just a reminder of what the ACA means to a lot of people.
