Republicans ARE Living the Fantasy

I received two sort of related phone calls today: one from a debt collector trying to recover money on a bill from 2009 and the other a political advertisement by the Republican member of Congress running for senator I WV -- Shelley Moore Capito.

They're related because the debt I had a health issue which caused massive expenses (which I couldn't pay) going back to 1998. It's amazing to me they are still trying to recover some of that today, but it's more amazing they would have me take money I need for food to pay an ER doctor money which he has already written off. The only reason I have these debts is that I had health problems and no health care insurance money to pay the bills as they arose. But now, Republicans are arguing Obamacare is a bad thing because it forces us to have healthcare insurance and they would repeal it...putting me (and others like me) right back where I was when I ran up the first bills.

Do the Republicans not want people to have insurance? How exactly do they expect people to pay their bills and avoid bankruptcy? They don't have a plan of any significance and they know it.

That's living in fantasy land. But, people who live in the real world have real health issues and real bills and can't afford leaders who aren't willing to deal with our real problems. We can't afford health care without insurance and we can't afford Republicans who would take away our health care insurance.

We can't afford to live in a fantasy world.
