Re: Female voters are hot commodity for presidential candidates

I'm afraid of limits on care with the changes. With the cost of some of the new cancer treatments I would be hate to be in the situation where there is a cure for my cancer but I can't have it as I maxed out my benefits. Scary.

Re: Female voters are hot commodity for presidential candidates

Removing the lifetime limits is my favorite part of the President's plan! I'm with you, 'Lizbeth...I don't want to see any of us die because we've spent more of the insurance company's money than they think we deserve!

Repealing that part of "Obamacare" would suck for us. Royally!!
