Talk abt health care. I was notified in May, starting in Jan. my supplemental policy ( original Medicare primary) is going up 80.00 a month. I’m on SS & working and just able to get by now. And I anticipate increases in both my gas & electric bills.

Gas prices jumped the most in 50 years. Oil companies made $23 billion in excess profits in one month. Trump told reporters he loves inflation. Your commute funds their yachts. #TrumpLovesTheInflation

He loves THE inflation because he never has to live with the consequences.
Everyone else does.

#TrumpLovesTheInflation but the rest of us don't. My grocery bills and gas prices are THROUGH THE ROOF. Let alone my health insurance, up 21% this year alone.
He could not care less about us. Including his own voters.

Trump’s Republican healthcare cuts mean clinics closing, coverage disappearing, and families one illness away from financial ruin. This is what their priorities look like. #CantAffordTrump

My health insurance went up 21% this year. How about you? The really big health care cuts haven't even hit yet! Because Republicans wanted tax cuts to billionaires and more endless foreign wars. #CantAffordTrump

Mine increased from $158 a month to $358! Same plan, with BCBS. Absolutely ridiculous.

Trump's healthcare workforce shortages mean longer waits and worse outcomes. He had no wait getting into the Knicks game last night. Obama invested in training more doctors and nurses for all of us. #TrumpMakesUSsick

With so many American’s unable to access healthcare right now because of Trump defunding the ACA it’s no wonder we are seeing more people die from treatable illness. #TrumpMakesUsSick

Disabled people should never have to beg for the basic support that keeps them alive. The caregiver crisis is a healthcare crisis, a dignity crisis, and a moral failure. Thanks Trump!
We need consistent care, real resources, and a system that doesn’t abandon us. #TrumpMakesUsSick

Yesterday was National Cancer Survivors Day. As a cancer survivor, it's so tragic that this administration is gutting medical research, meaning fewer treatments and cures for people diagnosed in the future.
Make America Healthy Again? Fund medical research.
