Well I am off of facebook for a month.  I needed to take a break because it was taking too much of my time and I felt that fb was using my information no matter how I blocked the use of my content.  Another reason is I have extremely strong feelings about the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act.  I am a complete supporter of ACA and absolutely do not comprehend why others are not in support of affordable health care for all.  I decided I didn't want to get into a negative discussion on fb with those that do not believe as I do.

When I was in grad school and raising my son health care was a huge issue.  I was 48 yoa in 1997.   My income was very low and we could have had food stamps, section 8 etc.  I chose not to apply for assistance but would have applied for health care if available at a reasonable cost.  Our income was above the $15,000 a year mark but under 23,000.  I had to take student loans in order to support us and attend school. And in attending school I was able to purchase major medical with a $4000 deductible.  So if you are a competent person you see the problem.  I support ACA from first hand experience.  As a result, I cannot understand why someone would not want a national health care program.
