I will tell you why I support this bill...
I am 61 years old, have 2 artificial knees and leaky kidney, in layman's terms no insurance company in the free market will insure me. Can't get life insurance either. But the no pre-exisiting conditions clause of the Affordable Healthcare Act will insure I get coverage if I retire before 65 and Medicare.
Pretty simple....

I totally and completely sympathize with you and hope you know that is very sincere.
I said when this began....back when...WHY is he not doing what he said he would do, ie. having that open and public debate on health costs, tort reform, etc because this was ONE of the very few things he said during the campaign that I really felt had merit. BUT he did NONE of the things he promised and this is the result.
What bothers me other than folks like you who will suffer if this is overturned and I have hopes that if it is, the court will find folks like you have been "cheated" and come up with a solution...anyway what bothers me is that the anger is mis aimed...it should be directly aimed at this President and all of his lies and totally forgetting people...health costs, tort reform, etc. This problem, if it becomes one is his fault and nobody elses.
He obviously looked at this as a political opportunity which, in my opinion, dictates he every action. The Buffet thing is just another example.
I do sincerely hope that there is something that comes out of this that will allow your coverage...I really do.
