I almost can't believe it. I have had really crappy insurance for a decade at a high price with a huge deductible up front and of course the mandatory "previous condition" clauses. So essentially, I have not had health care.
I have been kind of blase about it, but now that it is here I am excited. Imagine, I feel like a first class citizen once more.
Even better, I get Medicare (provided those goddamned Republicans don't fuck it up) in nine months.
I save a few bucks versus my other insurance, but I get to actually see a doctor with OBAMACARE!
THANK YOU OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So my fingers and toes have been crossed for the past two years, hoping I did not have a serious expensive medical problem that would cost me my life savings and then some.

I may actually visit a doctor this year for a check up.
