Hows Obama doin?

[Ryantology]

I have my own issues with Affordable Care Act, primarily that it's not enough. It's shameful that we haven't caught up with the 20th century and established single-payer healthcare yet.

However, it's a definite improvement. My wife and I are self-employed. Without the ACA, even basic, shitty health insurance was simply not an option. Thankfully, Kentucky is one of those rare red states that decided not to let thousands of its own people die and established Kynect (which never had any of the healthcare.gov problems, thankfully).

I had health insurance through previous jobs for 12 years. At no point did I ever have health insurance as good as what I have now (in fact, it was mostly overpriced shit with high deductibles that barely covered anything), and I absolutely don't care that it costs a little bit more than those garbage employer-provided plans (by about $70 a month, give or take). My wife never had health insurance throughout her adult life, being a full-time college student on her own since the age of 18. It's nice knowing that we're not one freak accident or illness away from complete financial insolvency.

There are a lot of people who think we should be.

Fuck you.
