If it weren't for Obamacare, I would have NO insurance due to my pre-existing condition, diagnosed in the month before the ACA was implemented. My previous private insurer, Care First (one of the Blue X Bue Shield companies) sent me a notice toward the end of Dec 2013, while I was very sick, seeing specialists and being diagnosed, that they would no longer cover me to the end of the contract period (Jan. 31, 2014) "due to the ACA," and the corpos was cutting me off insurance on Dec. 31.
A couple days after receiving this email from Care First, I was diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer and facing a big operation and chemo followup with no insurance.
Luckily I had a Dem Congressman whose office acted in my behalf to get the insurance extended to the end of the contract period . I then got ACA insurance, which saved me both my home and my retirement savings, worth well over $2500.
Cruz is LYING and I have the evidence to prove it. He is despicable. People with stories like mine should continue to confront this lying scumbag. If he ever does an event near me, he'll hear from me.
