GOP Goal Abolish, Obamacare, Medicare, Medicaid, SNAP, Unemployment Insurance And

reduce taxes on the rich to zero. Leave nothing for the working class. Plus stick workers with ALL the taxes. In the end that is what the GOP really intends to do. Follow the rhetoric and look at the stance.

An the American people just say almost nothing.

Life should be an endless orgy with Donald providing the entertainment. Fealty to the reality will be extended to Donald's descendents in perpetuity.

The real reason people don't vote for Gop is that they only help the rich!

We would have won if more Dems/Progressives had gotten off their asses and voted in the first place or not voted for those third party assholes. End of story. They need to make a different choice next time. Period.

- at least in MO. They have filed bills to get a waiver from the feds for the required medicaid services and turn it into individual monthly vouchers. When your medical care for the month is gone- it's gone. On top of that, there is also a bill to create a state maintained advanced directive registry. So, make sure you have a DNR order in case you run out of healthcare before the month is over.

Advanced directives are a good idea and in other times a registry might also be good. But, when the state can starve people's health conditions of treatment, and has total access to health records of people deemed a threat to the well being of tax payers, paranoia is reasonable.
