I don’t fight it back tooth and nail. Usually when it’s about to happen I don’t have a lot of control of it. Thankfully it is very rare for me these days.

The ACA is a set of laws that governs what insurance companies can and can’t do. It’s why they can no longer deny you coverage because of pre existing conditions. The ACA is not a type of insurance.
The only way you could get income based insurance is if your state expanded it’s state insurance. Which Kansas didn’t do, of course. But our new Democratic governor is working on it.
I’m not a fan. I tend to resist it as much as possible but when it happens I’m always like “meh”. The last time I did was 5 years ago though (from drinking). :P
Hell to the no. I hate that nauseated sensation, and will do anything to try to avoid it. Usually I’ll lie down awhile, and try stay still until it passes. Or knock back some Pepto Bismal. Been like that since I was a kid.
It’s horribly uncomfortable and borders on painful.
The fear kept me from ever trying drugs (the thought of vomiting from withdrawal) I didn’t drink (didn’t want to throw up from drinking too much) and kept me thin when I was young (because overeating made me feel nauseas).
I also am careful in the kitchen about not cross contaminating for fear of food poisoning.
@Dutchess_III I’m so sorry you’re sick and without insurance. Thanks for reminding people that ACA = Obamacare = ACA and that it doesn’t pay the doctor.
I had hiatle surgery in 2019, when I had insurance..
It’s been like this off and on since then. Eating causes the vomiting, so shit. I don’t need to eat anyway.
