47of74 I've clicked back a page or two reading your posts in this group and feel I know the sadness you feel. Next week will be the first anniversary of my sister-in-law passing. Preceding twelve months included anniversaries of two close friends my Dad, Step-dad, Mom, and wife. Mom's last sibling brother died in October. Medicare and ACA worked for those covered. I was able to be home with my wife when she needed me thanks to ACA. Financial ruin for the others. How do we cast off the darkness in America that keeps people from seeing the good in the ACA and embracing the BS Trump sells. Reading your posts in DU and attending the Women's march in Des Moines last weekend give me hope for the future.
