    1. ljf3 they already do it. Non citizens can’t vote but can be in the system to receive govt assistance?

    2. Andreana Calhoun Obama Care is an option. Didn’t mean you had to chose it. And many Americans gained healthcare after Obama care came in Benefits to it. But my issue is this administration is trying to cancel it but without giving you another option. It’s like a parent taking a child bike saying it’s not a good bike. But not buying a “better” bike for their child to ride. Just walk now. Y’all dumb

    3. Worm so many people fighting him over it. So call your congressman/woman and let them know to vote to cancel it. But make sure you ask them what is it being replaced with and see what answer you get smh

  1. How many Americans will now go bankrupt because they can’t afford private health insurance to pay for their critical care of weeks in a hospital? Great choice, die or bankrupt my family for medical care. Is coronavirus a pre-existing condition?

    1. @trueboss926
      Well if you give Trump another term be prepared to see Medicare and other entitlements you currently enjoy be eliminated or reduced.

    2. @Polo Mare unless you lived someone’s life you don’t know. Your just speculating.
      Let me try.
      Your so happy to hear Americans die, because of this virus, that you spent time cheering at the Trump rally when hearing about the corona virus was mainly in democrat states. That it sounds intentional.
      How’s that!

  2. I’m ready for the Corona virus. Life is like trudging through mud at the bottom of the ocean. I want out.

    1. @Don Schilling you think I’m a terrible person because I choose not to tell him he does not have the right to check out? I believe in a person’s right to leave life on their own terms. While suicide may not always be the best option, while in fact it may seldom be the best option oh, I believe it to be an option none the less.

    2. No. Don’t give up, love. I know things are hard right now – but please don’t become a statistic. Call a crisis line if you feel desperate, OK? Asking as a favour. There is too much horror and sadness these days to lose another good person.

    3. @Confederate Rooster you’re right, and you’re wrong.
      Your 1st comment came across as uncaring because you don’t know the person or their circumstances.
      Are they strapped to a bed, in constant pain, unable to move?
      Or have they just had a run of bad luck so long and awful it’s hard to believe it can happen to anyone?
      I left a comment here for Lou, outlining some of the reasons we might feel like killing ourselves when there really is still hope.
      If you could just soften your response to someone in that state, it could make all the difference. Remember they may not be able to think clearly at this time, so their decisions might not be ones they would ordinarily make.

  3. Mama always said life is like a box of coronaviruses, you never know which one you’re gonna get

    1. Yes, 7 Corona strains, 4 give you a cold,( 229E, NL63, HKV1, OC43), 3 cause serious respiratory illnesses, 2 of the serious ones MERS, SARS haven’t been an issue for a while and then Covid-19. I want to get OC43.

  4. Yes the Nightingale contract, to command oneself in accordance with the contract. We shall see what we shall see contractual obligations wise.

    1. @Travis Forde having years exp in medical/healthcare billing collection with ICD/CPT, It is not what you say or exaggerated. Do more research or consult Subject Matter Experts in the healthcare industry area instead of feeding from FauxNews before you commenting.

    2. @ignignokt – You could get kicked off an insurance plan and get a specialized plan for a particular disability. My mom had diabetes, and picked up new insurance when she had a heart attack. Her specific insurance that covered all effects of diabetes paid for her open heart surgery, and rehab. She passed away in 2002, but she got great medical care, and was insured WITH pre existing condition 8 years before Obamacare was signed into law. Obamacare didn’t actually become fully implemented until 2013.

  5. Obamacare works for me and millions of people…and I got to keep my doctor and it was better and less expensive than what I had…so no big lie from my perspective…
    And you can’t just get rid of it without a replacement.
    Going on 4 years of trump…where is this great plan? Remember trump said it would be so easy and better…

    1. obama care did not work for me 2500 $ a month for wife 2 kids ! And I would like to know wheredid the money go that I penalized for not haxing insurance ?

    2. @Rory Cannon no individual mandate, getting rid of the Obamacare exchanges, that boxed in competition in the markets, and getting rid of the tax on medical devices, that spurred cost increases. Protecting the provisions on pre existing conditions, while letting customers pick and choose what healthcare options they want individually, instead of forcing people to pay for what they don’t need in their coverage.

  6. On average, nearly three homeless people are dying daily in the county, nearly double the rate of deaths by homicide. Illness, addiction, accidents, suicide and the ravages of being unsheltered are among the primary causes of death.

  7. The perfect example of your government getting pay to do nothing , but they are here to help you

  8. That’s a slippery slope the GOP is trying to climb. Jeopardizing pre-existing conditions, no replacement for Obamacare and making mandated insurance “unconstitutional” will effect more than just Obamacare.

  9. This country Supreme Court can intervene on healthcare taxes but can’t or won’t do anything about the atrocities and blatant corruption that trump and his administration are doing nor his taxes but let us not cooperate with our taxes they’d be ready to take your home or any other asset you may have! SOMETHING IS SURELY WRONG IN WHITE AMERICA!!🤔

  10. In 2015-16 Trump said that he was going to have a health care plan, everyone would be covered and it would be great. When does he expect to roll it out?

  11. Still waiting for that really great healthcare Trump said he’d replace obama care for

    1. Gotta get rid of shitshow Obamacare first…start at square one, which will be a drastic improvement from Obamacare, then replace….

    2. Travis Forde trump said he would replace it without dismantling it… Trump said it would be a smooth transition… he light to you bro I’m sorry to say… You got Trump and will remain nothing but a voter no one cares about

  12. I could have sworn Trump said the other day, and I quote, “I’m the one who saved pre-existing conditions” knowing all the time that his administration is challenging Obamacare in court. The man’s a pathological liar, plain and simple.

    1. Maybe he just forgot.. After all anybody who tells that many lies is bound to get stuff mixed up somewhere.

  13. I want to put the money I spend on insurance every month into pooling it with other Americans so all Americans can have healthcare instead of throwing it away monthly on my individual premiums, copays, being denied certain services even with good insurance, minimums, prescriptions etc.. – our power is in our numbers. We should be pooling our resources to improve the lives of all Americans because for everyone to be healthy enough to support their families benefits us all. The insurance companies love that they have brain washed us to think “we can’t afford Healthcare for all” when we are paying so much more then many countries that do have it. We are wasting our money individually instead of pooling it for more power – besides also being nickel and dimed by insurance with copayments, denied services etc… Many who have a sudden health crisis in their family – an accident, cancer etc.. , even those with insurance, go bankrupt all the time because of the health care system in America is a corporate sham. It’s gambling with your health and finances even when you are paying for insurance. America needs to do better for all Americans.

  14. Is that a coincidence that they’ll hear it after the elections. In Trump’s favour. I think not…
