I have an adult son with ID. He does not qualify for coverage under Obama care.

I'm sorry but what is ID? I thought the ACA (obamacare) covered pre-existing conditions?

I'm sorry your son didn't qualify. I didn't have any problems with it myself and have been covered under it for 3 years. Why didn't he qualify?

Well, Obamacare has made my sister's and BIL's lives a living hell. 75% of their total income goes to their "Obama-snare," and to top it off, they have a $6,000 spend down; which means they have to still dish out $6,000 before any of medical expenses are covered. I haven't had it quite so bad; but, I need prescription glasses, and I have to pay $75 before my medicaid will pay for it. I have scoliosis, arthritis, bone spurs in my spine, osteopirosis, a crooked ankle-which exasburates everything, AND degenarative disc disease. So, I am in horrific pain. But, Ican't get get any treatment because it's not covered. SSA sees that as non-compliance so I can't get SSI.

Obamacare has gotten me covered by both Medicaid and Medicare. I'm honestly scared to death about what the dismantling of it will do to me.
