    Just a reminder that if ACA is repealed, an estimated 20,000-45,000 Americans will die EVERY year JUST because they don't have insurance.

        I don't have insurance and I couldn't even afford the "affordable care act".$300 premium a month is a 1/3rd of my income.

        .@Hexenkraft @avantgame Similar. Forced to buy, then can't afford to use. Now will be punished by IRS since I can also no longer pay to buy.

        Privileged folk like Jane really don't understand what it's like to be truly poor in America today.

        I like Jane very much. In my academic field, she is an icon. But this is not one-sided at all.

        I sure as hell *wish* I could have insurance and I totally would if I could. Just isn't in the cards for me.

        If insurance just costs $ w/o services, I'll pass. That's where I am now w/ #ACA."Care"is a pipe dream at this point.

        the issue is that they don't view those people as people.

        unfortunately many 1) don't believe in math (post truthers) 2) are completely convinced that we have an over population problem

        since it's been enacted my premiums have gone up, low deductible option was eliminated and I can't even afford to see a doctor.

        Death doesnt matter to the top 5% and those who follow them. The Lower 95% are just Lemmings. :( #Trump #SaveACA #GOP
