by billions and billions. And I can't even begin to absorb all the other horrors in this genocidal bill.
And I haven't heard a peep out of Democrats OR Independents. Where the hell are they? Where is AARP? I gave them an earful this very morning. (The woman on the phone hemmed and hawed - well, we wrote an article about it in our magazine. That is mobilizing???)
When GW Bush and all his repubs tried this shit just after he was reelected, people mobilized and raised hell and they had to back down and drop the very idea. And they dropped it fast. (Or was it Social Security? or both?)
This time, for Trump and his misgotten band of repubs, total S I L E N C E is all I hear. Even the pundits have stopped talking about it. NOBODY GIVES A SHIT ABOUT US.
I am so pissed and next to despairing. I have two great grandchildren who will be totally without medical insurance and no way to get any when the CHIP funds fail. Both have medical conditions that require medical supervision. And no sign of that band of crooks allowing that bill on the floor. Too busy cutting and denying insurance for the rest of us.
Now my Medicare will be cut back, or "co-pays" added. Or whatever tortures their sick minds can come up with. And I can hardly afford to pay the deductible and the supplemental insurance now. And those will both go up again for 2018.
And my children are in their 50s now. Couple of them with serious chronic medical conditions and still working hard as shit trying to get through the next ten years to Medicare. Or is it twelve years now? with two more years to be added ever so often, so maybe my babies will get medicare when they turn 75? Or maybe they won't make it that long at all. I am sitting here bawling.
These goddamned republicans are going to ravage my family.
And mark my words, as soon as this goes through, they will be after Social Security.
