Got horrible news today.

My uncle who lived out in San Diego passed away. He was the brother of my mother. I never met him in person (long story) but we've spoken over the phone. I'll never forget how crushing this day has been to my family. I'm still relatively young so I havent had to wrestle with the reality of death so deeply until today. The details were so gruesome. I was on vacation with my family including my parents and my other aunt and uncle on my mothers side. My other uncle received a phone call from my late uncles landlord. He said recieving the call caused him to panic before he even knew the purpose. My late uncle dealt with serious problems, most of which I didn't learn of until today. His main problem, or at least the one that became fatal, was alchoholism. The coroner from San Diego called us and informed us it appears that my uncle tripped an hit his nose. There was blood on the wall and around his head where they found him, lying halfway onto the bed, the amount of alcohol in his system thinned his blood and he bled to death. I don't think any of us have fully come to grips with what has happened and I'm honestly not completely sure why I feel the need to post about it on here. I know DU is a very diverse community when it comes to views on religion and spirituality, but I'd like to think he's in a better place. I've been fortunate enough to have never seen my family go through something so devastating until now. Please keep us in your thoughts/prayers.

Does the monstrous GOP health "care" bill directly affect CHIP?

My family relies on the Children's Health Insurance Program. It was extended by President Obama throughout his terms in office. I'm terrified at the thought of these monsters taking it away from us. I tried researching the question online but couldn't find any direct answers. Please help.
