Thank you for thinking of me, positive thoughts are always appreciated!
I think that’s one of the worst parts, watching my slightly less left progressive friends do similar tone policing about ‘angry leftists’ because then librals/progressives just put people off, etc. Another is discovering how deep the bigotry and…

Everything the Republicans have done since 2008 has been out of pure spite.

I’m too sick and mentally ill to work and it’s terrifying. How can I put money in an HSA if I only receieve $735 a month on SSI (I don’t really qualify for SSD because I got sick before I could work so I hadn’t contributed much to social security) and even though I live with my dad, (I pay rent and help with groceries…

I added up the cash prices of all my meds (I’m chronically ill too. Hi fellow Spoonie!) and then what I actuall pay due to split billing (i have medicaid and insurance, it’s a godsend). Cash, my meds were over $2,000, and that’s not counting all the doctor’s appointments and other medical crap. This is so very scary,…

I am scared too. I am disabled with an expensive chronic illness. I am scared for all of us.

Don’t be sorry - in a first world country you shouldn’t have to worry whether you can afford healthcare or not. You have very right to be angry at the privileged people who don’t see the consequences of their actions and what it does to families like yours.

HSAs only help if you already have money. If you’re poor and can’t save, you can’t get care. If it’s tax credits, that doesn’t help old people on Social Security who don’t pay taxes.

I’m glad you have hope. I think it is going away. When I talk about how many could die, my mom says “they won’t let that happen.” Yes, they will.

Applause from this disabled lady! That’s a huge fear of mine, but I’ve never seen it put so well. These ‘minor changes’ could be absolutely devestating for people like me and my sister, while barely affecting a healthy, able-bodied, neurotypical person. I can’t believe it’s only been a month, with the anxiety and…

I’m chronically ill and disabled. I’m fucking terrified. I’m only 31 and live with my father (I pay rent and help with groceries and bills), if we go back to the land of pre-existing conditions and lifetime insurance caps and I lose my insurance (because of my health, I’m able to stay on my parents’ insurance, but…

This. I am in a state of near-constant anxiety because of this goddamn administration. I can’t listen to him speak, I can’t watch him speak, I can’t read synopses of his words, everything he does and says is just fuel for my anxiety-fire.

It is really frightening, but I have students that think they can fake their way through tests the same way he is trying to fake his way through being president. If I gave a test with a question that would be the equivalent to asking, “What precise policies would you propose to improve the healthcare system in the…

As a longtime Massachusetts resident I’m sick to death (pun intended) of the myth that Romney had anything to do with our state’s healthcare laws. It was Senator Ted Kennedy that championed such healthcare coverage and he had been doing so for decades. Romney ran for every available office until he was able to get…

Seriously, call it whatever the fuck you want, but don’t just scrap a plan that is literally saving lives out of spite without having something better in its place.

Really? My worry is that I’m going to lose my healthcare...

This sounds like a Calvin & Hobbes strip.

I was at a wedding recently where a number of my conservative relatives were shit-talking Obamacare. Every negative point they came up with was a compromise made for the Republicans
