When the Nazi party a.k.a. GOP takes away the Affordable Care Act legally or not

[Eliot Rosewater]

And replace it with absolutely nothing, millions will become uninsured overnight, most of them cannot fight back so they’ll just get sick and die.

What we are doing to fight this is not enough, I am not sure what needs to be done but what we are doing is not enough, I do like what Robert Reich said today on Facebook if you can find that but we need that and more. Maybe somebody could post it thank you

1. People who are sick with no hope of getting better

...might have an invigorating combination of desperation, ire, and disregard for personal safety.

There's a recent post of Robert Reich's somewhere around here - that might be what you're thinking of? He's got an autobiography out recently this month, so he's getting around.

2. It's about how what we are doing is not enough I'll see if I can find it

4. I don't think it's this one,

...but it's a powerful summary of what he's been witness to, all these years.

6. Thank you!

I didn't realize he had a sub stack. It's so great to see his work without another editor shaping it. It seems like practical advice, and not only for politicians to work on.

And as a man of trans experience, I'm so glad that more than once he mentioned the vilification of transgender people. The same malice that works against immigrants has been grinding away at trans folk too, less visibly, but just as pervasive.

7. Anything connected to the word "woke" they will hate out of stupidity and just pure

Hatred which is their hobby.

I hope the American people stand up for Trans people and LGBTQ in general, I know I will.

3. I'm one of them.

I won't be able to afford to live when my monthly health insurance through ACA and tax credits and subsidies is increased from $200 a month to $1,900 a month. That is 2/3 of my income after taxes. I'll die but I actually am looking forward to being free of tRump. Death is better than tRump. Maybe that should be the Dems new slogan.

I am too "rich" for govt help ($32,000 income in CA and 63 years old) and too "young$ for govt help.
