She voted for Trump every time. Then came cancer and the bills That’s true for many Americans, as rising healthcare costs leave more families with a sinking feeling after seeing the bill for surgery or medication. Heading into the Nov. 3 midterm elections, about half of registered voters said healthcare costs are a major problem for them and their families, up from a little more than one-third four years ago, according to a Fox News poll from September. With party control of Congress at stake, registered voters are nearly twice as likely to say they trust Democrats over Republicans to handle healthcare, according to an Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll from the same month. Those frustrations, combined with broader concerns over rising prices, have sapped support for President Donald Trump and his Republican Party.

I stopped feeling bad for these morons a while ago. Isn’t this “god’s judgment” that these weirdos are forever bleating about?

Regardless of whether she voted for trump or not, no American should have to go into medical debt to live and take care of their kids. We are the richest fucking country in the world, we need to take care of our people no matter who they voted for. But that requires roughly $7,000 a month for utilities, mortgage, car payments and groceries, along with the two water leaks. Then, even with insurance through her job, the surgeries, chemo and radiation added up to over $25,000 that she’s been paying off, making Banda one of tens of millions of other people in the United States in medical debt.

It saddens me that I can’t bring myself to feel bad for her. Three fucking times she voted for this shit. Three. It’s mind-numbing and I hate it.
