    “Opt to go uninsured” is certainly how I’d phrase the choice between affording rent and food or healthcare.

    Honestly, being uninsured was how I was from the time I was 17 up until 4 years ago. I’m 61 this year.

    Until the US gets a single payer / Medicare for all, the best anyone can do is work to stay healthy. :(

      No we can strike, and not stop until the peoples demands are met. Someone start the strike already!

      Bad luck and bad genes can still get you.

    If I lose my Obamacare, getting insurance is not a thing I can opt in for.
