My late husband was diagnosed with Type I Diabetes when he was four years old. He was brittle and was in and out of hospitals for most of his life. We were one ER/hospital visit or two from our insurance's lifetime cap when President Obama signed the ACA into law. He likely saved our home and us from having to file bankruptcy with that stroke of a pen. For that, I will be ever grateful.
