OK, I am thinking about one of the town halls.

Now mind you I am not against this lady I understand her and agree with her. My thought was how she said it. She had said, "If it wasn't for the Affordable Care Act, all of us would have been dead...and homeless." I had no clue that you could be homeless if you are dead. Yeah, I know it is probably bad to think of that in the way that I did but it did get my attention.

She might've meant "dead...or homeless. Some dead and some in the family homeless because they couldn't pay their bills, including medical.
