Do you think losing healthcare insurance would finally wake the deplorables up

and lead them to vote democratic in 2018?

House Democrats think they could seize the majority in 2018 if Republicans are on the record backing the controversial health bill.

I know people who will probably lose their insurance if the ACA is repealed, but they're ecstatic at the thought of Trump voters with serious pre-existing conditions learning that they're doomed as well. Your thoughts on letting repubs (and their supporters) dig their own grave...?

because they will reassure themselves that some poor Black person out there is also losing their insurance. They're so obsessed with making sure others don't get any benefits that they don't realize they're the ones losing out.

As long as someone they deem lesser is more miserable than themselves, they will be pleased with the misery they created

How they are so happy they got rid of that mandated comprehensive healthcare plan

And how much more affordable going to the doctor is with their new Trumpcare Discount Healthcare Card ..

They think that Obamacare will be repealed - but they're okay because they are insured through the ACA.

Yes, some of them really think so.
