My wife has diabetes, and she qualified for insurance years ago. But after the ACA kicks in, my premium may rise to a point where I won’t be able to afford anything but the tax/penalty/whatever and end up with no insurance at all. I am, most unfortunately, a constituent of Durbin’s. I think I might drop him a few choice words about “Judy” versus my wife.
BTW, he’s well isolated from us ordinary Illinoisans. I had some Constitution Party friends who wanted to deliver a petition to him in person, and they were chased off the state capital grounds by officers with dogs, they were told it was federal property, couldn’t be approached by any impromptu visitors, even if they are legit constituents.
Wow, so sorry to hear about your predicament. I would also drop an email to Cruz, Sessions, or Rand Paul. They might be interested to hear how one of Durbin’s constituents is being affected vs. Judy.
The made up judy, according to durbin was never offered employer paid health insurancw. She could have purchased coverage but refused to.
