(31,097 posts)Trump voters must want to lose their healthcare because they did vote for someone who is going to take it from them, come hell or high water he is going to do that.
He and the GOP may not be able to do much else but what they will do is take our benefits from us, for sure.
unless the voters dont want that, then they can vote for politicians who dont want to kill them

There are so many ways they put greater burdens on our backs to pad their rich bank accounts.
We are meek in comparison. We stop and think about whether our actions hurt people. As Paul Ryan said, it's much easier to tear down, which is where they were for 10 years. Making something work for people is hard.

(33,915 posts)"let them own it" is not an option any caring person should promote. Real people will die while we're sitting around smugly "letting them own it" so we can avoid having our purity tainted.
We need to fight tooth and nail - and, yes, come to the table to fight to salvage what we can.
