For me, repealing it completely could destroy me. I have been diagnosed w Major Depression, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, & I fight addiction although we the help of medication I have been sober since December 2014.
Despite my mental health issues I have managed to be a productive member of society. I have always worked full time bc I have 2 children. Even in my darkest days of addiction to alcohol & heroin, I paid for my poison out of my own pocket, never stealing to support my habit.
My job does not offer health insurance. But in 2013 after my mom died of cancer, I got Obamacare health insurance. It costs me 180 bucks a month for decent insurance. That's my portion, the government subsidies make it so I can afford it.
I started going to therapy with my insurance. Working through the issues like childhood trauma, anxiety, depression that caused me to self medicate.
I started using legit medication for anxiety & addiction craving. I am reliant on 3 medication. After 25 years of substance abuse I got sober. I go to therapy. I use medicine that helps me fight depression, anxiety, addiction.
I support my 2 kids, & help my ex wife. I pay taxes. I believe i deserve affordable health care as a citizen of the US & as a human being.
If they rip my health insurance out from under me without a proper replacement, I am fucked. It has helped me get healthy. Hell I even quit cigarettes w the help of my insurance last June. The ACA has been a miracle for me. Off alcohol & drugs, 4 years of therapy there is no way I could afford otherwise. I'm scared as hell. Without insurance I figure I could be dead within 6 months if I go back. Which I'm sure is what these goons want. Fuck.
