Honestly, I don't even know what to say to this. It just makes me sad.
I'm sad because it seems like your reasoning is based on an extreme corner case – a hypothetical fee if you hypothetically moved and hypothetically lost your job and hypothetically couldn't find insurance. I'm sad because no one should have to worry about that anyway. I'm sad that this loophole exists and hasn't been fixed. I'm sad that you're blaming and not supporting the people trying to fix health care. I'm sad that those people didn't do a better job fixing it. I'm sad because I'm pretty sure you're going to make it harder to fix in the future. And I'm sad because I don't know how to have a constructive conversation on this anymore.
Thank you for engaging with me. I hope I'm wrong – I hope your political effort and strategy is able to help the people you care about without hurting others.
Economic insecurity is nothing to laugh at. I have economic security to some extent where I am living. I would have such security in a different way if we moved to my wife's culture despite being excluded from a lot of initial opportunities.
But the first time we moved back, I was unable to find a job and needed that assistance, which was then denied to me.
I don't see how it can be fixed. Both parties throw families like mine under the bus as easy ways to appease others. The only way I see is to try to start a very different approach to our national conversation and that is not going to come from our parties of capital (either one).
