....."41-year-old woman named Laura Packardfrom Las Vegas, Nevada, who is battling Stage 4 Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, was just blocked by the President for simply stating her opinion on the GOP’s Graham-Cassidy health care bill, that President Trump supports. Yesterday afternoon, following a tweet by Trump stating “As President of the United States of America, I will ALWAYS put #AmericaFirst #UNGA,” Packard replied with two simple tweets of her own.

“Don’t you mean put America last? Your latest TrumpCare bill would mean 32M Americans will lose their health insurance. What about putting them first?” She wrote.

According to analysts, the new Graham-Cassidy bill which the GOP is trying to push through, would raise annual premiums on those with metastatic cancer, like Packard, to approximately $140,000. It would basically make those like Packard choose between treatment, or possible death.

This morning Packard found that the President had blocked her from viewing and/or replying to his tweets.

“I don’t know if he just woke up on the wrong side of the bed today or what,” Packard explained to ThinkProgress. “I cannot afford [a $141,000 premium] and I suspect most people cannot. I just wish that he would listen.”.... "
