10. Apparently you have never been fired or laid-off from a job and had your insurance disappear because of it.

Also, there are a number of companies that do not offer insurance to their employees and without the ACA, the employees do not have any insurance available to them.

Having been in the position of multiple layoffs over my career (with a family to support), it was no joke to not have any insurance available.

The day that I hit 65 was an extraordinary day of happiness because I no longer had to worry about having health insurance--I was eligible for Medicare.

Millions of people are in the same boat that I was.

What is happening in this country is a tragedy that just keeps happening to ALL of US.
