ACA Thread of Support

If your life has been made better because of the ACA, you have medical care you otherwise wouldn't, or know someone who does, check-in. Time to send positive vibes out into the ether in hopes we can save this great achievement...

If they get buried, I'm going to blame all who aided Trump's rise to the presidency. Every one.

A son of a friend of mine got into a skateboarding accident and has a traumatic brain injury. He has insurance because of The ACA.

We don't know how bad he is going to be, or how long the recovery time will be--they have temporarily removed part of his skull to accommodate swelling of the brain.

God damn Republicans
