My Mom is in her 70's and still works full time

She works in healthcare. During my Mother's Day call today she said that she is appalled at what is happening.
She agrees that a Medicaid cut is going to be devastating.
She works for one of the largest healthcare providers in the country. They are selling off ALL of their Medicaid facilities.
There is no doubt in either of our minds that if trump isn't stopped...soon...we will have the blood on our hands of the poor, the sick and the old.
God help us all.

quintessentially American. Not that he ever worked himself, but it applies to the 99% of peons who he now paints.

I'm in my seventies too, and there's no way I could work any more. My arthritic joints hurt just too much, and I have very little energy.

I too am afraid of what will happen if trump isn't stopped, and soon.

He is a horror.
