      I’m not at risk of losing health insurance, because you can’t lose what you don’t have!

      I am going to laugh after all the water holding Garland did for Republicans, if Trump still goes after him for some reason.

        Already happening. In this region a LOT of manufacturing workers voted for him. Now most of them are looking at significant reductions in compensation because their companies are all rebudgeting to prepare for the tariff proposals the GOP has written. Now they are all mad, though I wonder how many understand that they need to be blaming who they voted for, rather than immigrants, communists, and queer people.

      My dad is one of those people who claims he’s not a conservative or Republican, maybe he’s a libertarian, IDGAF really because he always votes for Republicans. His wife is disabled, and I really worry about her because they are going to need those Medicare dollars.

      Good news, statistically a lot of them will. Republicans tend to skew older (and dumber but that’s irrelevant in this case), so when he axes Medicare it’s going to impact his supporters hardest.

          This is the biggest part of the problem. He will do exactly that and these people will believe him because every other source on the planet is lying and only Donald Trump tells it like it is.

    Yeah I’m nervous about healthcare for my family and I. I need it, full stop. I’m not workable.

    My father has had it for so long he thinks he’s invincible and he voted for Trump. He keeps telling me Trump is great for his 401k. The guy hasn’t had a 401k in decades. It’s ridiculous.

      Yup. I have to take twelve medications daily to keep me from dying. Retail price for all of them would be about $15k a month. Once that goes away, I go away. Now I have to face the idea of sitting down with my wife and planning what she’ll do when I die.

      No one in this day and age should have to do that. I’m 42…

    This is the goal. Remove health insurance. Only healthy manual laborers are wanted because those are the ones who can work for their masters. If they aren’t working, they don’t deserve to live. If they get sick or are unwell, they can’t work and thus are of no value. They only live by the grace of the masters after all.

      That’s why you need to earn a living, because you don’t deserve to exist unless you sell your labour.

    Once they kill the provision that protects people with pre-existing conditions I’m dropping my health insurance completely. I refuse to pay them through my lost potential income for a “service” that they will just deny as soon as possible. Medical insurance companies can go fuck themselves.

      As someone with cancer, dear god I wish that was realistically an option for me.

      I’m probably realistically just gonna die soon, even though my medication probably would have let me live relatively comfortably the rest of my life.

      Even the generics of my meds are about $5k a month without insurance.

      I also won’t be able to afford regular blood tests or, you know, being able to see the cancer doctor.

        I wish I had something more comforting to say, but all I’m left with is rage towards the people that put you in this situation. So many people have so much more unnecessary anxiety now just so already disgustingly wealthy people can be more disgustingly wealthy.

        I wish all the calls for guillotines weren’t just empty words. :(

      That would require me to speak to them, which is something I refuse to do at this point. I’m only interested in communicating with people IRL who wish to be a part of the socio-cultural resistance.

        I actually think this was part of the Fox/Conservative media plan. Make your neighbors and relatives so obnoxious that you can’t be bothered correcting them anymore.
