No matter what we try to do or say along with their corporate media partners promoting this massive redistribution of wealth.

I read somewhere that we need to stop trying to convert them and instead get all the people who don't vote to start voting.

Peace

I'm not interested in reaching out or being understanding or trying to convert Branch Trumpvidians. Fuck that. And I'm not one of those "tolerant and understanding liberals" that the reich starts going on about every time someone on our side stands up for themselves.

10. When I'm 64

Decades ago, when I heard that Beatles' song, I imagined a comfy pre-retirement existence.

This despicable turd of legislation forces me -- and many others -- to re-evaluate. Sadly.

I turn 64 in 3 months. My health insurance is bought and paid for via the Marketplace. I have a pre-existing health condition.

Do I:

• Divert my retirement savings into the outrageous premiums for one year, until I'm eligible for Medicare? (Hoping the Repukes don't go after that program next).
• Gamble by not purchasing insurance for a year?
• Temporarily move to Canada, Mexico, or other country where health care is state-provided, paying rent, taxes etc. while trying to maintain my homestead here?
•Find an employer willing to hire an old fart full-time and extend benefits (knowing that I'd drive up their group health premiums without filing the first fucking claim)?

Help me out here: is there another option I'm not seeing here?
