My mom was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer this weekend.

Your parents were 65 and they had no insurance? They relied on Obamacare to get insurance after your mom was diagnosed with a horrible cancer?

This is not responsible life-planning.

eta - covering pre-existing conditions is not insurance = it is welfare.

My dad is 65. My mom is not. He worked over 40 years in manufacturing and had great insurance. Now that he is retired and is 65 my mom will not be on his insurance.

It's not about planning or the type of insurance. It is about premiums that are charged to people between 59 and 65. My dad has been paying into SSN since he was 13. My mom has been working with the church unpaid for well over 30 years.

For the next few years she would not be covered under ACHA with affordable premiums.

When people look at planning or polical views it's not about the tax payers. Everyone's situation is different.

We have always taken care of our older generations. The biggest reasons we have take care of them in the past it is because they have taken care of us and it is the right thing to do.

Many of us complain about Millenials and one of the reasons is them being selfish. We are better as a nation by taking care of every citizen.
