What a strange concept.

People could actually use birth control methods instead of just fucking bareback with no birth control pill or condom. And then NOT have children that they can't afford.

Then there would be zero chance of anybody having to "suffer" as you put it.

But then...they wouldn't be able to get those govt. checks for those children now would they?

Also...I would like to point out that the govt. de-funding Planned Parenthood would NOT "deep six" it.
The company makes plenty of money and would still continue to operate just fine. Some of the high paid executives of Planned Parenthood might have to scale back their huge salaries and their lifestyle a bit though.

Unfortunately, GregE is correct. ACA fails to help people in the "donut hole" of having too much for welfare and too little for ACA subsidy. For example, a writer who just got a $10k advance for a book would have too much cash on hand for most welfare programs, but, without additional income being assured that year, would not qualify for subsidized insurance.
