OMAHA (KPTM) – For six years Bret Chudacoff couldn’t afford health care because of his pre-existing conditions.

“It’s not just that I’m insurable now. Everybody’s insurable now,” he said.

“I don’t want to be paying through higher premiums for the 25-year-old who isn’t covered and something catastrophic happens.”

Bret doesn’t quite get it.

Bret is a poster boy for low-information voters.
