| "Dear Mr. Congressman" I sent hearts to staffers ans asked them to remind the Congressman that my dad's heart problems were not covered before ACA. They were pre-existing conditions. |

Dear Person Who Opens the Mail,
Today, some hearts for you and your co-workers.
My father had a bad ticker.
He owned a small business, a Sears catalog store. It was kind of of like
a franchise. He would get a percentage of the sales. Boy, you could buy anything from
the Sears catalog. You could even order bees. The Post Office would call my dad
in the morning to tell him a hive of bees had arrived for a customer.
Well, as I said, he had heart problems. And, insurance
companies were glad to take his money. But they made sure to make it clear that
they wouldn’t cover anything related to his heart. Pre-existing condition, you
know. And the thing that would be most likely to kill him.
Dad was lucky, in some ways. He didn’t have his heart attack
until he was old enough for Medicare. The bill would have bankrupted the whole
family, otherwise.
So, here is my message to the Congressman: don’t repeal the ACA. Don’t get rid of the rule that
says insurance companies have to cover pre-existing conditions.
Otherwise, all but the jillionaire are one bad health scare away from losing
everything
I hope you have a nice day. Talk to you later.
Warm regards,
El
