Holy Crap! It worked. They have me thinking like a Republican!

[sinkingfeeling]

As I was reading about the unbelievable damage the AHCA will do to this country: millions without insurance, hospitals and nursing homes closing, people losing jobs, tens of thousands of bankruptcies, and the total elimination of the middle class, a thought entered my head.

It was I'll be able to afford medical treatment for myself and my son, no matter what. I'll have the money unless the entire banking system collapses or a law is passed that single females can't have money and property.

That's how Republicans think....only have to care about oneself, no one else matters.

I ask forgiveness.

1. Most of Trump's supporters probably can't afford treatment

They just don't want anyone else to have it either

2. I mentioned something similar to my MIL. She asked me

if her sister would still have her Medicaid. I explained that she probably would since she was still on it, but the bill would prevent other people like her, equally or more needy, from getting it. I told her that we can't say to ourselves, "I've got mine, so, phew, I better shut up and keep quiet about it." No, we need to fight to make certain everyone has the best healthcare.

3. Even a net worth of millions can be wiped out by medical bills.

I have more money than most, but I certainly don't feel that my family is safe.

4. When Beau Biden battled brain cancer, President Obama stepped in

to make sure Joe Biden didn't have to sell his house to ensure Beau had as much care as he needed.

If that was the decision the Vice President of the United States had to consider, one can only imagine what's going to happen to the portion of the GOP/Trump base who aren't the beneficiaries of the tax break.

Trump and Congress are truly separating the Republican party's "Got mines" from the "Don't gots".

5. That capital gains tax break will be awesome this year!.. and I may just go without insurance

Planning on early retirement in a year or two..would be smart to defer it for sake of insurance now. I'm not so attached to living anyway, though, so maybe it won't be worth the money to pay the high prices for insuring a 50-something.
