Many of us will die from stress long before they take away our healthcare.

I have been trying to tell people for a very long time, they dont just want black people dead, Muslims, Latinos, etc. they want everybody not like them gone, one way or another.

the aca is creating tons of GOOD jobs.
jobs in the medical field are good, decent paying, sometimes high paying jobs.
that is why, while coal jobs are disappearing, jobs taking care of those coal miners are going up.
and again- these are decent, middle class jobs. these are jobs you can train for at a community college.

part of why chicago is not detroit is that we have a large and stable medical economy. both in direct care and in research.
we will keep these jobs one way of the other.
in ky, tn, in, not so much.

Before they do "tax reform", they can give themselves a bigger tax cut than if they destroyed health care later.
