text: Many who may have attended the protest in support of the ACA are too ill to attend and sick in bed from their medical treatments. They asked me to excuse them but say without the ACA they  would have to chose between losing their home, vehicle and chose rx drugs over food and without insurance would have to settle for the least amount of health care . That was like my friend before the ACA, she was working at a place that could not offer health insurance and when she had to be treated for cancer she got a bag of chemo into her vein at the ER here locally and had to go home so sick she was not able to care for herself.
