It's important to NOT give Trump a "win" on healthcare...or most anything else for that matter.

It will just embolden his bad behavior and the evil tendencies of the GOP. If either of them were going to use a win for good service and with good intentions that would be one thing to consider for supporting a balanced approach. But we all know, and some of us don't care, that when Trump wins and the GOP "wins" they use it for no real good except to themselves and their wealthy controllers.

It's like trying to pamper a bear to leave the premises and not eat the children by offering it honey.

Manchin needs to go if he continues to stand behind this narcissistic sociopath. We need not cave. The GOP didn't when Obama was President and look where that got them...everything they wanted.

Thereafter, the narrative will be that Democrats are interfering with the operation of the government.

Because I do contract work my health insurance is based on when I am working. $800 a month with 7500 deductible is too much money. I opted for no insurance and pay the penalty. I was hoping for Medicare expansion of some type. So much for hoping

I am living. I know exactly how it works. There are others like me. ACA is not so affordable. I don't want it repealed just fixed
