“As many families were making their way home or picking up children from either school or some daycare that they had to be in, the CBO report came out on the unfortunate representation of healthcare from the United States Senate. I think the most striking comment to be made is that, by 2026, with this healthcare bill of sorts, 49 million Americans will lose their insurance. To add to the insult of those working families picking up children and trying to make ends meet with the dinners that they will be preparing, hoping that the Federal Government would take care of them, the President of the United States indicated that he hopes that the Affordable Care Act that now has helped insure millions of Americans would crash and burn, crash and burn because he has strangled the subsidies. He has made sure that the insurance companies do not have stability, and he has decreased the amount of people who can get the expanded Medicaid. I am sad when the President of the United States who should be the chief comforter, the person who takes care of Americans, takes great glee that 49 million people will be thrown off of insurance, without insurance by 2026 under TrumpCare in the House and TrumpCare in the Senate. Democrats know how to fix this. I would hope that the Republicans and the President of the United States get off the special interests and stand with the American people. Save our healthcare. Stop taking away our healthcare. ____________________”
