They are poor, sick and voted for Trump. What will happen to them without Obamacare?

Two people have emailed offering to send a humidifier to Andrea. Some days, I like the internet.

Shouldn't have trusted a con man. This is how nature thins the herd I guess.

These people are hate filled idiots, but they still don't deserve to die even though they unwittingly voted for it. That they get to see a doctor at all because of the ACA is lost on them.

Let them live with the consequences of their trump votes, and set some major social upheaval into play. God forgive me---I think it's the only way we can make things normal in this country, again.

To me, if you are poor and voted for a republican, you obviously don't want healthcare.

You get what you vote for

and that's fine with me. I have no fucks to spare for those racist bastards. Fewer trump supporters will improve our chances of winning back all three branches of government.

by the Trumpsters should get our help. Here is how I plan to respond this way: a) conserve my resources to help my family and close friends who find healthcare insurance not affordable, provided b) they voted DEM in the 2016 election. That's going to dump a lot of my extended family onto the charities, but it's the best I can do. We had an election and it has consequences.
