As talk about Obamacare repeal and replacement heats up, the liberal publication Vox took to social media to hear from fans and American citizens who benefitted the most from the health care law.
The publication started up by Ezra Klein, who rode the coattails of Hillary Clinton during the campaign, wanted to hear their favorite Obamacare stories.

The link itself includes a survey where users can fill out their satisfaction or dissatisfaction with the law through multiple choice. It also allows people to write in a blank space how Obamacare impacted their life and what will happen to them if the law if repealed.

@voxdotcom my family premium went from $789 a month w/1k ded. to $1929 w/8k ded. In 3 years. We also lost several key doctors.
