I was diagnosed with Lung Cancer in Feb. 2016... I've been unable to work since then. My FMLA has run out and it is unlikely that I will ever be able to return to work. Luckily, my state has amazing state healthcare that I really hope won't be effected by this nonsense, because I will literally die without it.
During my 1st treatment last year, I was put on 4 rounds of chemo... each round consisted of 3 days of infusion, the 1st day was 1 6 hour drip of Cisplatin and Etoposide plus steroids, anti-nausea drugs and the fluids the chemo had to drip through. Day one of each round was 30,000 dollars... not a typo. Can anyone tell me what a 14,000 dollar tax credit is supposed to do towards that?

Yes I was, so yes I did it to myself and deserve my fate... thanks for being a jerk though. You think you have a point but you don't.
What about the millions of people who get cancer that didn't do it to themselves and end up in my situation... like a 10 year old kid maybe.

Be prepared to get flamed by all the Leftists who will say that Trump is taking everyone's medical care away.

Heartless pieces of sht. The only thing I agree with is removing the mandate.

Just thought I'd ask since you conveniently left that part out of your sob story... for obvious reasons of course.
You did read the part about prohibiting insurers from denying or increasing costs for people with pre-existing conditions didn't you?
