Jess, it isn't personal, never has been. For 5 years I had no health care at all. No job, and No prospect of being hired because of my disability. I fought tooth and nail for my SSOC disability benefits. This law is better than doing nothing while people starve to death waiting on disability to kick in. Had I been able to get medical intervention sooner I may not have had to have shoulder surgery when I did. That would have saved $25,000. for the one shoulder. I worked all my life paid into the system for over 30 years and now have the benefit of Medicare, which I also have to have a separate health care insurance to cover everything Medicare doesn't, which is everything. I lost my home, had to move back with my ex, till I met the one person who just didn't care about my ableness and who took care of me. I am lucky, I know this, there are thousands out here who have no one to take care of them, to love them and pay for the medical help they need till the system decides it's gonna give them what they have paid for. Yet when President Obama signed this law, it made white america stand up and become ever bigger racists.
Is this law perfect, no it is a step in the right direction. Could more have been done, yes, but lets just bemoan every one who it will benefit in the mean time. When presented with facts of what the law actually does for the people it is ment to help there is such outrage that people actually have to step up and be responsible.
Boggles my mind.
