Her hubby was between jobs. Lost the insurance from the one job and was just hoping he'd be able to pick up another job quick.
Besides, she is an anti-Obama, anti-Obamacare, protrump person. I only knew about her needing the surgery because she was on facebook trying to blame obamacare for the surgeon wanting the high down payment. Something which I just couldnt let pass considering. She knew I had gone through the same danged thing, before there was a president obama even. And well, she would have at least been pretty much functional and the down he wanted from her was far less that what the surgeon wanted from me. By the time the state senator intervened on my behalf, I had given up and resigned myself to the fact that I was just never gonna walk again.

I have no idea how it worked in ny..
I'm in va now. My husband tried to get on it and it was kicked back referring us to medicaid, which, virginia didnt extend medicaid so it was rather useless to us.
Ya know, too rich for Medicaid, too poor for obamacare..
Which, I may remind you... was a failure that republican governors and senators created..

You can remind me but I have no idea what you are referring to when you say that republican governors and senators are responsible.

Lol... not if it means I have to go back to my to fight the case... I have no desire to give that state one cent in tax money ever again.. not in sales tax, income tax. Or any of the other taxes and fees they have to suck money out of the pockets of their citizens. It's bad enough I would still have the habit of hitting the second hand stores, just so I can deprive the state of their precious tax money if i was able to get out and get to them.

ACA discriminates against pro Trump supporters. Hmmm

When obamacare first came out, the idea was that the states would expand medicaid up to a point and obama care would subsidized the cost of those who couldnt pay the full price of the policies but could pay at least some..
The republican governors and state senators didnt like the idea that the federal govt was telling them they had to expand without any assurance that they would be paying a higher cost long term and took it to court and won. So while Obamacare was designed with the idea that a portion of those they wanted to help would be taken in by medicaid, that wasn't the way it was.
Weather they corrected it later I have no idea. I was back to working 40-50 hours a week, regardless of how much pain I felt or how much I stumbled around clinging to an insurance provided by the boss.. and when I ended up having to quit that job, I just didnt care anymore.
