One way this election affects me personally is that I could lose my health insurance through the ACA, which has allowed me to be self-employed all these years. For a refresher on what healthcare was like for freelancers pre-ACA, see this autobio comic from 2012. https://kffhealthnews.org/multimedia/open-letter-to-supreme-court-cartoon/
@jensorensen The ACA is not on the ballot this election, for better or worse.
Yes, there has been misinformation about this to scare people. We need to push back against that misinformation.
Whoever told you this was fear-mongering and manipulating you, and you should probably stop listening to them.
