ACTION ALERT: how to stop or slow down the attack by the GOP on the Affordable Care Act (Obama Care). A friend shared with me today what Senator Elizabeth Warren is advising people to do. She wrote It is simple:

A friend called Senator Warren to ask what she can do to help push back against the ACA repeal. Here's what she was told by one of Warren's staffers:
"Senator Warren's staff member told me what would help the most would be to call the five Republican senators who have broken away from the GOP to demand a slow down of the repeal. Tell them how much you appreciate their efforts to stop the train wreck and share your story, if you have one you'd like to share (about pre-existing conditions, etc).
They are:
Senator Bob Corker - [phone]
Senator Lisa Murkowski - [phone]
Senator Rob Portman - [phone]
Senator Susan Collins - [phone]
Senator Bill Cassidy - [phone]

20. K&R KEEP UP THE PRESSURE !!!!!

I want to retire before I'll be able to get medicare. I'm an engineer, a profession not normally associated with physical labor, but I work in a manufacturing plant and spend much of the day on my feet. It's becoming more and more painful to make it through the day, but given that I'm getting close to 60 it will be exceptionally hard to find another job that pays anywhere close to the one I have now.

I'd love to be able to 'semi-retire', and if I were to purchase health insure in the ACA marketplace and get a subsidy (until I'm eligible for Medicare) I'd be able to do that. If people can do things like this it will help the economy in that more good paying jobs will open up as some of us are able to afford to leave the workplace a few years earlier and enjoy our retirement while we still can.

22. i hear ya. i dont know if i would be divorced today if i hadnt had the aca to count on.

and that would be a very bad thing.
and as you say- stimulate the economy. most of the cash in my settlement was in a 401k. i took it out and am putting it to work investing in my own hood. the tax man gonna screw me, but i dont even care.

so many people tied to unfortunate circumstances by their healthcare. so wasteful. so useless.
