    I have insurance thanks to Obamacare. This is my bill for one of my two NICU girls. Without ACA I would be bankrupt.pic.twitter.com/AJNdQ71J4o

        @avantgame I had a $100K “bill” for a heart stent pre-ACA but only paid ~$8,000 (and no more that year). Under ACA plan in 2014, ~$6K

        @Wikisteff and consider we pay $13,000 a year in premiums just to get the insurance that charges us another $13,000 for treatment :(

        @avantgame We pay something in taxes, but I'm pretty sure our share is less than $13k. I can look it up. :/ #accidentofbirth #justiceforall

        @avantgame Also, your girls would have had lifetime insurance caps around $2-6 million. They could've been uninsurable before preschool.
