3. I have Blue Shield via ACA and subsidies

May 2017

and I have a chronic disease that is so extremely painful that 50% of patients kill themselves within 7 years of being diagnosed. Expensive surgeries are necessary to help lesson the pain I will have until I die. I can't afford insur without subsidies. I hope every congressman suffers my pain throughout their eternity and even into their future reincarnated lives. I called all 50 senators 9(twice)and 100 congressmen and told them about my situation. I also told them that I have already made plans to commit suicide and video record it. After I am dead my family has been told to post my video everywhere. I want everyone to see what happens to real people who can not afford it. If Jimmy Kimmel's message didn't sway them I doubt my video will cause them to lose even a minute less sleep at night since they are heartless, greedy inhumane cretins.

That's the plan. moondust May 2017 #1

So you would let people die because they have a chronic condition? athena May 2017 #11
You misunderstand - the point is if you develop a condition, or have had one it's pre-exisiting flamingdem May 2017 #12
If you "develop" a condition after you purchase insurance, it's not pre-x. WillowTree May 2017 #15
Umm you don't always have the same policy and they can increase your costs so as to mak it boston bean May 2017 #16
I never said that people "get to keep their health insurance policy at a fixed cost". Never said it WillowTree May 2017 #17

I was responding to someone who began by saying....... WillowTree May 2017 #20
