Without the Affordable Care Act, commonly referred to as Obamacare, Fort Mill resident Amy Hilton Schuler said her uncle could die.
Schuler, 43, said she and her uncle have type 1 diabetes and rely on insulin treatments. She said that without the ACA, her uncle, who has many other health problems related to diabetes, won’t be able to get the treatments he needs.
“My uncle will die,” Schuler said. “Before the ACA, he could not afford his insulin and the family had to help out.”

This really is shocking news about healthcare in the US, particularly for people with chronic and pre-existing conditions. Shows even more why we need to fight for the NHS!
