11. Well over a year ago, I walked out of an out-patient program

having been told that I was incurable and the psychologist didn't have time to deal with it.

I can't say my circumstance is better or worse. It certainly left me with all the same mental problems, and a fairly severe state of discouragement.

Since that time, I've added prostrate cancer and heart failure to my various other medical diagnoses.

In a foolish moment I looked at the Kaiser calculator for ACA...it says for a silver plan I'd have to pay over $8000 per year. Almost 4 times my income.

Moreover I don't qualify for subsidies because my state isn't expanding medicaid, and the calculator says I'd get a zero tax credit. I suppose the latter is because my taxes are already zero.

Wow, another crack to slip through. I thought I'd reached bottom a while ago, but apparently it's gonna get wor$e.
