We are seeing this political season an onslaught of political opposition to the political campaign of Kamala Harris.  Many of these Black Trump supporters, trolls, bots, and pro-Black imposters raise the issue that the democrats haven't done anything of substance for Black people.

These arguments become heated, and can become so abstract and ideological I wanted to take a different approach by illustrating my points with making it personal.   I'm glad to be alive today because I am a survivor of two different forms of cancer.

And actually the surgeries alone to survive these 2 forms of cancer would have been over $200,000.  My hospitals stays over the last 4 years would have been over $300,000.

Without these critical surgeries and hospital stays I would have died.  I paid nothing out to pocket for these expensive hospital stays because my health insurance was covered by the Affordable Care Act or ACA AKA Obamacare.

Now while some conservatives and others against affordable healthcare call these programs socialist, a significant number of developed nations have universal healthcare already - while the US does not.

Moreover, I had about $300,000 in healthcare costs and paid nothing out of pocket accept the costs of traveling to the hospital.  I thank God I'm still alive and do what I can to stay healthy like exercising, having a strict diet and taking supplements, and doing intermittent fasting.
