The day after Trump was elected, I talked to my Dad (a Trump supporter) about how I was terrified we'd lose our insurance or have the #lifetimecap return. He said to me, "Don't worry, honey. Mr. Trump won't hurt people like you." https://twitter.com/nicholas_bagley/status/1311634170704211970
I haven't spoken to him since January 2017, when I had the stones to send him (and the rest of my family, who WAS excited to see it) a picture of @BarackObama , who I had the privilege of seeing in @voxdotcom / @sarahkliff 's "What's Next in Obamacare" interview at Blair House.
I've shared my story over and over again and again over the past 4 years. @SylviaBurwell shared it at her farewell HHS presentation at @PressClubDC . I was a guest of @RepSchneider at the Joint Session Speech in 2017 and had some press around that event so I could...
share my story AGAIN. My Rep, @janschakowsky, brought our story to committee. Last week, I stood with @SenatorDurbin and shared my story again. How is it that I can keep sharing this story -- at local and national levels -- and people STILL believe Trump over me?
The two people who brought me into this world: Trump supporters. 90% of the kids I went to high school with: Trump supporters. How is it that no matter how many times I share my story -- they choose to believe THAT GUY? We dodged a bullet when my husband
was diagnosed with #leukemia. The #ACA had already banned the #lifetimecap we previously had on our employer group insurance. MY HUSBAND BEAT CANCER AND WE DIDN'T FILE FOR BANKRUPTCY BECAUSE OF THE ACA. Why can't that get through???
When I text bank and voters ask why I support Biden, I tell them about the #ACA and my husband's leukemia story. They tell me the ACA didn't save my husband/family & that the doctor would just lower the cost for us. Do they know how aggressive/expensive leukemia treatment is?
Voters (via text banking) have threatened me with their AR-22. I've had a bunch of gentleman tell me to 'eat their dick'. I get the Q folks and the pedo nonsense. But nothing shakes me more than sharing a one sentence FACT about how that law
protected my family and having someone respond in Trumpese about the ACA and that I should go and 'educate myself.' FOUR years of talking to newspapers and news cameras and joining Tweetstorms and close to 100,000 texts to voters since July and I'm in the exact
same spot I was in November 2016. There are days where I'm confident we'll flip it all on November 3rd (and other days where I can barely get out of bed). In the event we do win... how do we get through to these die-hards? Seriously?
And here I am, yet again, sharing my story: https://www.chicagotribune.com/business/ct-obamacare-repeal-worries-employees-1218-biz-20161214-story.html
