Honestly, being uninsured was how I was from the time I was 17 up until 4 years ago. I'm 61 this year.
Until the US gets a single payer / Medicare for all, the best anyone can do is work to stay healthy. :(

No we can strike, and not stop until the peoples demands are met. Someone start the strike already!
I already started. What the fuck are you all waiting for?
For one of the general strike groups to pull the trigger. We need enough people to start to make the news to inspire the rest.
Bad luck and bad genes can still get you.
Fuck this administration and everyone who supports it.
If I lose my Obamacare, getting insurance is not a thing I can opt in for.
