37. A lot of the dumb shits didn't realize that the closing of the monster "Dough Nut Hole" in Medicare

Sat Feb 11, 2017, 02:28 PM

Feb 2017

part D (The prescription drug plan passed during George Bush's term) is now part of Obama Care.

Since Obama Care, the Dough Nut Hole has been gradually closing and will be completely closed in 2020 but now the gains so far will be lost.

To refresh the minds of everyone, especially those with parents on Medicare, the Dough Nut Hole is a gap where their insurance does not cover their drugs and they,we have to pay the full amount. Almost everyone hits it and it is very expensive.

Now those gains of gradually closing the hole will be lost. This needs to be thrown in the face of every Trump voter.
