(99,719 posts)Whenever my interlocutor verbally assaults me over the internet I think to myself that at least he or she isn't verbally assaulting people in public where there is a possibility the person being verbally assaulted will respond in kind or worse... So being the empathetic person I am or like to think I am I am doing that person a favor.
I digress...
Expanded health care wasn't a fable to me when I fell and suffered a fracture of the proximal radius that rendered my right hand which is my favored one essentially useless...Because of the Affordable Care Act I was able to go to the ER to have it diagnosed and set, to the orthopedist for follow ups, and to physical therapy for rehabilitation. Thanks to the Affordable Care Act, several months later, my elbow is as good as new.
Expanded health care was a fable to my father. He didn't have health care, hadn't had a physical in twenty years, and had a massive heart attack at the ripe old age of 58 that killed him. Thanks to the Affordable care Act I get regular check ups, and medicine for my hypertension. Hopefully I will avoid his fate.
With love and patience
