Random thought today - Will Van Sustern need the ACA for health care

now that she is no longer employed?
Wonder if that will open her eyes?

Honestly I have no idea if she is on the Repug side for health care, but since she probably lost hers, bet she is glad the ACA will let her buy some and cover whatever pre-existing conditions she has.

Maybe she is under her husband's policy? She qualifies for COBRA and she owns a restaurant that she may qualify for insurance under. My guess is the ACA is not going to be her "go to" for insurance.

The TV performers union and gets insurance from them. Most of the entertainment industry is still unionized and offer excellent healthcare.
