I thank Obama for the ACA.
I am glad that Trump lost because not sure where I will be now without the ACA.

Insurance is so messed up this country that the treatment that worked was only given to me only after the other treatments failed.
And halfway through the last treatment, my insurer tried to pull coverage for the treatment.
That decision was made by a pediatrician and not an oncologist.
Luckily they reversed themselves on appeal.
