The GOP wants to bankrupt us then kill us in, that order.

My ACA with tax credits will drive my health insur up to $1,200 a month!!!!! Now it is $194.

The new rates for 2026 will take 33% of my income after taxes in CA (which is very, very expensive). I'm down to 81 pounds due to tRump stress.

tRump and the Gestapo are killing us!!!

I have less than "no hope" for my future.
