    The part I find most puzzling is we just elected a guy who wants to repeal Obamacare along with a lot of other corporate regulations…… this country amazes me

      A lot of those voters are on Medicare. They aren’t clued into the fact that Trump and a lot of his (real) base would love to completely gut Medicare and Social Security.

        They’re so clueless they don’t even understand that Medicare is government run free insurance. I’ve literally heard people say things like “The government better keep their hands off my Medicare.”

      I mean, Obamacare is pretty much a subsidy to the private healthcare industry. It should have been Medicare for all, but instead we got a watered down, rebranded Republican program.

      And they still want to make it worse for us. For money.
