I've mentioned my mother-in-law a couple of times here. She wasn't able to purchase insurance until 2014 due to her pre-existing condition (she's a cancer survivor). It was either unavailable to her or way too expensive.
But thanks to Obamacare, a f***ing godsend to her, she was finally able to purchase insurance on the Mississippi Exchange at around $60 per month, a price she can afford. Now you're telling me that Republicans want to take that subsidy away from her (which is worth around $6,000 per year) and the millions like her? That's just plain evil.
So what, would she have to pay that $6,000 back if the Supreme Court rules against her? Where's she supposed to come up with that money? The government promised her that subsidy and now the Republicans are going to go back on their word? Sure, some of the saner Republicans might vote to "forgive" the 2014 subsidies since they're already out there (although we all know the saner ones don't run the party, so I doubt it), but what's she supposed to do in 2015? Just go back to being uninsured?
F*** every single person who supports this. It's not her fault that Mississippi had it's own state-based Exchange website up and running, only to have our governor (who claims to literally converse with Jesus), after previously supporting the state Exchange until that point, pull the plug on it just to stick it to Obama.
