This is brutal

It IS brutal. It is unspeakable. I believe there will be the possibility of a huge correction if democrats don’t blow it, not just in the United States but in Russia and Israel. But watch out for corporate democrats.

We have got to win this election. I remember when ACA was passed and 2 of my Democratic friends got health coverage and found out they had colon cancer. They were able to get medical care and lived for a few more years because of the ACA.

Our adult son has non-verbal autism, intellectual disabilities, epilepsy and had a craniotomy for a brain malformation and spinal cord cyst. He lives in a group home and is entirely dependent on Medicaid for his health care.

We cannot go back to this dystopian nightmare of insurance companies raking in millions while Americans are denied coverage and suffer. Medicare for All. Everybody turn out and vote. Save democracy and fix our healthcare.

I am sorry for all of your troubles with your son. Even finding a group home can be so very difficult, and to add to the challenges that families face with disabled children, the threat of losing healthcare. The soulless, shameless, sick and twisted GOP

It is difficult to find group homes these days. In TN, they privatized Medicaid to the MCO's and they love to deny coverage of payments leaving providers in debt or using lines of credit to pay their bills. Outrageous and cruel.

this is also a public health crisis

fewer folks covered puts greater risk to the entire community

It unbelievable that our beautiful, richest Country in the World has the worst Healthcare!!

I am fortunate, I am not in that position, as yet. But, I hope and I know, we will be in a better place in 2years!!
