discouragement when getting started

I'm not posting this on a Friday; it's a Monday. I am writing this from bed where I lay in much pain. Friday, when I said I was going to blog, I was in the ER waiting for emergency surgery to have my gall bladder removed (emergency cause they thought it was infected). Fun! not. But this leads me to a discussion about insurance. I'm pretty sure it's because of obamacare that  I was insured this week. Wasn't it because of obamacare that young adults can stay on their parents' insurance until their 26th birtdhay? I think the old law said you were covered as long as you were a full time student. I qualified for  that until I graduated.  

I have to admit, I haven't been paying  close attention to the  obamacare/GOP shutdown down hoopla. Mostly because I feel like  there isn't a darn thing I can do about it. So feel free to enlighten me on the evils of obamacare, but if I hadn't been covered, I would not have had surgery. At least until the pain got too much. As it was, it took me about a week to go to the ER because of the $30 copay.
