With five days to go until the Midterm Elections of 2018, it is more clear than ever that HEALTH CARE is the issue that will determine the future of Congress, as well as many state governorships, next week.
Other issues matter, but first and above all, every person is concerned about their own health and that of their loved ones and friends and neighbors, and it is clear that the Republican Party is running scared, as it lies and tries to convince gullible voters that they are NOT against health care and protection for preexisting conditions, when the record is clear that they have opposed exactly that for the past ten years since Barack Obama was elected in 2008.
A total of 70 times, the Republicans in Congress have tried to kill the Affordable Care Act, but now they are running commercials and ads denying what is fact, and looking in the cameras and stating bare faced lies.
The facts are that the Republican Party claims to be pro life, but are anything but that, including wanting fetuses born, but if they are disabled in any way, deny such children health care.
A party so mean spirited and lacking in compassion and empathy, just as Donald Trump exhibits every day, deserves a smashing defeat on Election Day next week.
And do not forget, the Republican Party is determined to strip Medicare and Medicaid as well, which makes them willing to see people die, while the wealthy get major tax cuts.
This is selfishness and greed and lack of morality and ethics which needs a total repudiation next Tuesday!
I get the sense people here are welcome to state their top issues.
My No. 1: Ending the wars. Reducing, significantly, the obscenely overfunded military industrial complex.
My No. 2: Medicare for All.
Our family’s No. 1: Keeping a check on Trump and his corrupt administration
Other top issues: fighting climate change, protecting Social Security/Medicaid/Medicare, ensuring that Americans have access to affordable healthcare, protecting rights of women/people of color/LGBT, gun control, creating good paying jobs, raising wages, protecting workers’ rights, make the wealthy pay their fair share of taxes, making college more affordable, taking care of our veterans, improving public schools
Leia – To sum that up, pretty much anything and everything the Republicans are against, is what we are for.
I am in agreement, obviously, with all of these issues being major ones!
