Quality of Life Improved – Story

I am a 26 year old graduate student studying Theatre Education. I work in the Theatre as a teaching artist, actor and director. I love my work, however none of my jobs will ever provide me with any sort of healthcare. I have PMDD as well as Ovarian cysts. Birth control is essential for helping me to manage the extreme physical pain and depression that I experience due to these conditions. If it were not for Obamacare, when I turned 26, I would have lost access to OBGYN care and the prescription which deeply improves my quality of life.

Big damn deal….you are depressed so take an anti-depressant. I am sick of paying for people like you when my own family has to go without.

Dear Author, thank you for sharing your personal experience with ObamaCare. I am currently a high school student learning about the roots of health care in America. I was shocked to learn that birth control was essential for you to be able to manage the pain and depression. Being a girl myself, I was aware that birth control helped with the pain, but I wasn’t aware that it also helped with depression. I was also shocked at the fact that none of your previous jobs provided you with health insurance. If your job had over 50 employees, ObamaCare requires them to provide you with health insurance. If you don’t mind me asking, what would you have done when you turned 26 if ObamaCare did not exist.

Dear Author, thank you for sharing your personal experience with ObamaCare. I am currently a high school student learning about the roots of health care in America. One thing that surprised me was that without ObamaCare, you wouldn’t be able to take the medicine that you need and improves how you feel while still at a young age. It’s great that ObamaCare’s parents insurance plans let their children stay on their plan until age 26 so they have time to figure out what they want to do in life and have the health care that they deserve. My question for you is what would your next step have been if ObamaCare wasn’t a thing?

I was shocked when I read that she would have no health care because she couldn’t afford it. I read in an article that now 3.4 young Americans have coverage now. Without Obamacare how would she have gotten the birth control that keeps her healthy

I am currently a high school student learning about the roots of health care in America. I just learned that ObamaCare helped this girl, it wouldn’t be improving the quality of her life because she wouldn’t have been able to be treated by an OBGYN and be affordable. The OBGYN is a doctor for females on their private areas, birth control and so on, this young women had something wrong with her and wanted birth control, she wouldn’t be able to treat herself or prevent havihg a child when it wasn’t for her if it wasn’t for ObamaCare. How much exactly did ObamaCare help her based on her yearly salary

I am a highschool student learning about the roots of health care in America! I was very shocked, because of your conditions your job did not provide you with any kind of coverage. The ACA provides subsidies to help individuals afford coverage, and many of the 45 million Americans who lacked health insurance, couldn’t afford the coverage anyway! What would you do if ObamaCare stopped providing?
