When I was employed and working one or two jobs for the last twenty years I had the same thoughts about people getting free stuff while I was killing myself providing for my family. I never thought it would be me that would one day need the help. Just something to think about. I wish no hard times on anyone.

You are the perfect example of why the ACA was needed.
Not to say it can't be tweaked to address costs, but the bottom line is that this country is divided into two very definable camps.
1. Those who have coverage and think that anyone who doesn't are just freeloaders and shouldn't be afforded...what IMHO SHOULD be an American citizens right.
2. Those of us who believe a country's first priority should be to take care of its citizens, NOT to cater to the rich/Big Corporations...and/or look for a war to fight.
Glad you were able to change your previous attitude of being so cold-hearted and selfish toward other American citizens.
Sorry to hear it took serious medical issues...for it to happen though.
Best of luck to you and Mrs. Nucky going forward.
