This morning I cried when I read the Senate had voted to repeal Obamacare. This was after I read what would happen if they were actually successful. People like me—those with serious pre-existing conditions—could lose their medical coverage, even if we paid the entire premium without help from the government.
While I don’t like to get political on my blog, this is a real life and death situation for me. As a 3X cancer survivor, one who is not yet out of the woods, I really need my current medical coverage. There is no way I could pay for my monthly cancer meds and cover other medical expenses without insurance.
I don’t care if you are a Republican, Democrat, or Independent—I just wish you would urge the folks in congress to fix instead of a flat out repeal. I’m afraid people like me, who could be left without coverage after a repeal, won’t have time to wait while congress fusses around and tries to come up with something to replace Obamacare after it is gone. Let’s be honest—they never did anything before, and since, all they have tried to do is trash what we now have.
Maybe I am being selfish. But the fact is, I really don’t want to die in the immediate future.
