As Repugs screwup, defund ACA and very probably community health centers (that serve a lot of vets), and dole out Federal Medicaid as easily stealable block grants, all of the above will have access to health care reduced or blocked.

The Repugs, esp big-hearted Trash, have The American (poor) People first in their concerns.

Trash's voters are gonna get NOTHING in return, except ed over from several directions. These "forgotten" people will be "remembered" by Repugs and BigFinance as targets for defunding, fleecing.

what would the minories get with their vote for Clinton?

Nothing, because Congress would still be Repug, which would strictly obstruct any Pres just like they did to Obama.

A Dem Pres with a full Congressional control could work on fixing ACA, esp regulating drug and device prices, not only for Medicare/Medicaid, but for ALL Americans.

Clearly, the best choice with people facing significant difficulty in paying for health care, is to strip them of their insurance. That will definitely solve the problem.

I don't think the Repugs will do that explicitly. But they will reduce or stop subsidies to ACA people which will make insurance so expensive Ms will not be able to pay for it.

If you can't pay for it, that's your problem and your own damn fault, loser. Go suffer and die, we Repugs don't GAF.

But that's what you have emergency rooms for, they can't deny you

So you can check into the emergency room for the last 6 hours of your life when you have cancer instead of being able to get it treated back when you could have had years added to your life.

So much better to give them an insurance policy that they can't actually use and count them as "insured".
