Joe Biden: 'This is a big fucking deal' [View all]
https://www.theguardian.com/world/richard-adams-blog/2010/mar/23/joe-biden-obama-big-fucking-deal-overheardhttps://www.obama.org/stories/13-years-aca/
since I am officially old now, I start medicare on Friday. Today I contacted the Healthcare.gov Marketplace to cancel my last ACA plan. I actually felt pretty emotional about this. not the getting old, going on medicare part, but the ending of 10 years of having health insurance thanks to President Obama and all the Democrats who got this for us.
it IS a big fucking deal. I spent most of my adult life with no insurance. it became available to me just in time for a fairly serious health crisis and I feel not only saved my life but also the 4 and 5 generation legacy of our family ranch. the huge medical debt I would have likely incurred in 2014 could have caused the loss of the ranch or at the very least been a very heavy burden on it for years and years.
thank you President Obama, VP and now President Biden, Speaker Pelosi, and all the other people past and present who got this enacted. Lets keep moving FORWARD, not going back!!!
