Then to phase in single-payor universal Medicare by 2025.

I have a very manageable autoimmune pre-existing condition. My husband is seven years older than me and was hoping to retire in his early sixties. I was planning on buying health insurance to bridge the gap to medicare on the exchange. I may not be able to afford it now.

Actually, if you were ever had allergies, had an irregular pregnancy, etc those are considered pre existing conditions now too. We are all screwed I think.

Jan 1. My provider through the exchange dropped out and it left one provider, which no one takes here in Texas. Talk about bullshit. And on top of that, I had been seeing a doctor regularly after a three week stay in the hospital last April. I contacted bacterial pneumonia, which gave me sepsis.

After two trips to the emergency room, with the doctors telling me I had a strain of the flu that didn't "register", I became so ill in the shower that I slipped and broke my foot. So I went back to the emergency room AGAIN! This THIRD trip to the emergency room showed I was septic, along with an infection in my foot. The sepsis went straight to the open bone in my foot and I ended up with osteomylitis (bone infection).To try and make this long story short, it's been a year of recovery and surgeries. This really is sad what they are trying to do to us in this country.

I'm livid

I cannot see them getting to fifty votes in the Senate, plus Pence to put it over the top. Even if I'm wrong, I cannot see the House GOP passing the Senate's bill, and if it goes to conference committee, I don't think the product of that committee can get 50% in either house of Congress.

The only reason the GOP in the House mustered enough votes was to be able to lay the blame on the Senate for failure to deliver on the repeal-and-replace campaign blather, knowing full well it would not get past them.

I cannot see anything other than the GOP effort failing, with Trump blaming them, and greasing the skids under the failure of the ACA. I'm glad that I can only see a period from September 2018, when my significant other retires, and I will no longer be eligible for coverage as a domestic partner, and November 2020, when I become eligible for Medicare. That's only a bit more than two years to go without coverage, and I have a reasonable sized Health Savings Account to get me through that time, as well as very few health problems of any kind at my age. I know that many people are not all that lucky.

and WH.

Can't afford it now. Will be able to afford it even less if this passes. I lose a $5100 tax credit and premium goes up $3500 as well. Yay me.

Turning 60 in August, paying $1,100 a month for insurance, have 2 pre-existing conditions. Really worried about what is going to happen to my insurance and to the premiums. I was only paying $600/month when the ACA first went into effect.
