(STATESBORO, GA) – In a shocking turn of events that has absolutely no one over the age of 30 surprised, local man and self-proclaimed “fiscal conservative” Chad Thundercock has reportedly lost his Affordable Care Act coverage after realizing he actually has to, like, pay for it.

Chad, 24, who previously stated that the ACA was “literally communism” and that he didn’t need “big government handouts,” is now frantically Googling “how do bones work” after falling off a hoverboard and realizing his free trial of being alive has expired.

“I didn’t think I’d actually lose it,” Chad told reporters between sobs. “I thought that whole ‘continuous coverage’ thing was just a suggestion. AITA for not reading the fine print? TL;DR: Didn’t pay my premiums for 8 months, now my appendix is a luxury item.”

Local insurance agents are reportedly “not surprised” and “kind of enjoying watching this trainwreck.” Meanwhile, Congress is reportedly considering a bill to rename the ACA to “Chad’s FAFO Act” in his honor.
