1. And with the current snake oil salesmen from the white house setting policies for healthcare in America......

Problems like these will grow exponentially worse, as the administration plays games.
Grifters are not the people you want, setting the policies covering your loved one's back,
when medical conditions become serious. By the republican's equation, excess " preventable "
deaths reduce costs, and reduce money coming out of social security, medicare, and medicaid.
So yea, listen to the morons telling you to not worry about the economic, social, and medical chaos
the administration is sowing in America by their draconian, regressive policies. Rather they say to
be afraid of the pregnant brown woman, screaming and crying, as trump's militias , wearing masks,
drag her out of her car, and zip tie her face down in the street, in front of her children.
