    Nothing is going to get passed that quickly. I've read that you're probably okay through 2017, at least. You aren't alone, either. I lot of people depend on this.

    • EilisNov 15, 2016 at 5:19 PM

      Okay (:

      It makes me aggravated they are so intent on trying as hard as they can to take it away as quickly as possible :( like, did they even ask anybody at all if it is helping them out?!

        Millions are affected by this. And many have even bigger needs. You are not alone. You are not going through this alone.

    They'll replace Medicare (as in the program for seniors) with private insurance with a subsidy. Won't affect you until you get older and perhaps by then the GOP is no longer in power so it will be reinstated - you should be more concerned about premium raises due to getting rid of the individual mandate of Obamacare (unpopular - 35% approval), and later a full repeal. That will take a longer time though - a few years at least.

      I'm concerned about medicaid / obamacare, yes. It's the only way I can afford the zoladex / tamoxafin :I

        They haven't said anything about Medicaid. Statewise, you're lucky - Kasich, your governor, is one of the "good" Republicans who approved the expansion. If you must use private insurance, that's when there are problems down the road - Obamacare kept premiums below where they would be by making everyone buy insurance (healthy people cover less healthy people). Get rid of the mandate and companies have to raise premiums to cover an on average more risky consumer base.

        Okay, great!

      • EilisNov 15, 2016 at 7:36 PM

        Thank you :)
