I didn't vote for him but for someone like me I could come out way ahead. I dont look at it being just about me though.

Nobody seemed to care when the politicians f**ked up Obamacare.

I know a lot of people over age 70 and none of them voted for the idiot. When you're that age there just is not enough time to wait around and see how it plays out.

Look forward not backward.

At some point we need to realize where this is going and hint it's not a good place.

I think the GOP is headed for an epic disaster, but they'll take millions of Americans down with them. Lives are on the line. Peoples' financial solvency is on the line. There is a massive amount at stake and many people simply can't afford to gamble on a political game that's being played simply for votes, a game that can potentially backfire into a mushroom cloud of a disaster.
Trump is great! He alone can fix everything.

Guys, don't listen to this liberal nut. Just let the GOP and Trump the Great to solve everything.

Trump is great. He alone can make America great again. Build the wall!

The statistics prove you wrong. Old people voted overwhelmingly for Trump.

I'm sure there is something I'm missing here, because this doesn't make any sense.

Even if you get your $1,500 in taxes back, no one making $24K/year can afford health insurance,.

We'll be back to people showing up at the ER for medical care and long-ignored medical problems turning in monthly disability checks.

People never stopped doing that. It's irresponsible idiots who don't ever proactively take care of themselves then when they get sick they go to the er.

It's people who don't have health insurance and can't afford proactive medicine that did that. When they lose coverage it will start all over again.

I am looking forward and I see nothing from either side that makes me think we will do the right thing.

The ER doesn't ask for unaffordable co-pays and deductibles.
