Cautionary Tale: Lifetime Caps & Leukemia

0 Comments

Once the dry heaving stopped -- about two days after the election results were officially in -- I called my Congresswoman and told her our story.  Two weeks after that, I flexed my old and saggy PR muscles and sent a pitch into the Chicago Tribune with the subject message line: Trump Will Kill My Husband.  

About five hours later, the reporter responded to my e-mail and asked if we could set up a phone call. 

My strange adventure in ACA Advocacy began with this article. And then a few other stories - like this one - followed.  And from there, everything got nutty. 

Because I'm not seeing a whole helluva lot of stories now (or even back then) that flush 156 million Americans out of the "all private insurance was perfect and comprehensive and fair" memory hole, I hope to solicit, aggregate and share stories from everyone who remembers their employer-sponsored insurance back in the pre-ACA dark ages all of  8 whole years ago. 

Also worth noting, I'm not making any money off of this site. You may notice you aren't getting bombarded with ads - that's because I'm not trying to monetize this initiative.
