GOP Determined To Blow Up US Health Care System. Leave Millions WO Care.

Think about it. The GOP is public enemy #1. That is because they want to really kill the health care system to save it. They have no viable plan. And Trump can start by eliminating subsidies on day one. Hospital systems are already in a panic.

Besides that cutting funding to Medicare and Medicaid forcing seniors and the poor to pay for health care they have no money for will most likely bankrupt or financially stress the hospital system.They could collapse the system period.

Yet they say they are determined to just stop it all like running into a brick wall. So here is where we are.

Those seniors who voted for Trump can kiss my butt when their medicare is gone. Mine will be gone too but I voted for Hillary. Those college kids who voted for Jill Stein and who will never get out of debt can kiss my ass because I voted for Hillary.

she was distraught. She is an older black lady and she told me that "MY new President was going to take away her healthcare and she didn't know what she was going to do. She would have been dead without Obamacare and now Medicare". I broke my rule not to bring my politics into work but I assured her that I didn't vote for him. She seemed shocked.
But....I have had an influx of people calling in and trying to get their procedures scheduled before the end of the year....before they get their insurance taken away.
There is a palpable fear out there....rightfully so.
