Yeah, it’s really amazing I had a republican/now-maga coworker who vehemently opposed Obamacare and said it was unnecessary as people who were risky should shoulder increased insurance costs, and could not understand that my partner literally could not get insurance for any amount, every insurance company was literally saying “you donated a kidney [were healthy enough to donate a kidney] and because you only have one kidney we will not cover you, good luck!”.
It wasn’t even “we won’t cover kidney issues” (ignoring that finding a kidney donor saves insurance companies money) it was a blanket “we will not accept you as a customer”.
To this day the dude thinks Obamacare is bad, and that people should “take responsibility”. (I’m unsure how people born with congenital defects are meant to take responsibility but dudes a maga and thinks a bunch of his coworkers aren’t people so I assume the same applies to people with congenital issues)
