Our lives.
When the #ACA is overturned, my boys will either lose or will be unable to afford their health care.
We've been here before, so I'm speaking from experience.
Let me explain each:
Nutrition.
When I fought to save the ACA, I often said parents have to decide between picking up a gallon of milk or their child's medicine.
I realize I shouldn't have said that.
It was never a choice.
You always pick the meds.
So you go without milk.

Transportation.
When you live in a rural area w/ no public transportation & you're over an hour from the nearest hospital equipped to handle your/your child's care, you need a car.
If you spend every penny on medical bills, there's nothing left for gas & upkeep of a vehicle.

Housing.
When your/your child's meds aren't covered and they cost the same amount as your mortgage... you risk homeless with every pharmacy visit.

Education.
My kids don't have a college fund.
They'll take student loans like we did, and they'll have to pay them for 30 years like we are.
But if they can't stay on our insurance, they won't be able to afford student loans & their health care.
That means no college.

Well being.
The constant worry over how to afford care is detrimental to one's well being. Sleepless nights, a poor diet, and overwhelming stress wreaks havoc on your mental health.
And, of course, you won't be able to afford any kind of treatment.

Our lives.
As a disabled/chronically ill mother of chronically ill/disabled children, my biggest fear is that I will die early.
I will always choose them and make sure they get the care they need over my own needs - no matter how old they are, even if it costs me my own life.

We tried telling them #WhatsAtStake.
We tried to get the @gop to understand.
They ignored us.
Now they've rushed through a #SupremeCourtConfirmation with the intention of taking away our health care protections.
They take our health care.
Let's take theirs.
