10. Richest, most blessed?

I beg to differ. My 45 year old son was laid off from a job he had worked at for 12 years. To keep his medical insurance it would cost $600 a month, from his unemployment. He really gambled on being called back to work, and having his benefits reinstated. He became ill, could not keep food or water down. He tried baby food and Ensure. I watched him become weaker and weaker. I told him I would pay for a doctor's appointment. He said "Mom, the doctor will send me for tests and I will be in debt for the rest of my life" Two weeks after he turned 45, his brother found him, dead at his house. Richest and most blessed? ONLY if you are born with lots of $$$. I despise everyone of these politicians who voted for the destruction of ACA. They sit in DC, lining their pockets, and act like royalty. I am 81, I want to live long enough to see everyone of these bastards voted out of office. I want tRump the unqualified IMPEACHED soon, before the idiot causes any more damage.
