Amidst all the SHitler crap, CBO released an important report today about his sabotage of ACA

The Effects of Terminating Payments for Cost-Sharing Reductions

Here's everything you need to know about today's CBO report:

• The report breaks down the potential fallout of Donald Trump’s recent threats to cut $7 billion dollars in health care subsidy payments under the ACA.

• If Donald Trump withholds payments on these subsidies, our national deficit is expected to SOAR by $194 billion in the coming decade.

• Americans can expect to see their premiums increase by an average of 20%.

With my meds and deductibles and out of pocket costs over 50% of my disability income will go for my healthcare since I can't work as a teacher any longer. Good thing I only have a few years left since I can't afford to live and be sick at the same time.
This crazy, mean narcissist had better be impeached or kicked out some other way soon so I can die in peace.
