The GOP can't stand unions because they actually represent the middle class. They are scared of them

Yet millions of Americans work for a living while uninsured - many paying higher effective tax rates than workers who get it "free" at their workplace without paying tax on it.

So who should the working uninsured vote for?

They should vote for Trump and the Republicans like they did last year. Why not?

When they listen to clowns like Cunningham, what can you do? I've thrown up my hands at this point.

Don't you deduct the cost of insurance while self-employed?

Anyway, I think it's a good question. The answer prob depends on whether you have pre-existing conditions or not. When I didn't have one, I much preferred pre-ACA coverage. When I did have pre-existing conditions, I much preferred ACA coverage. Now that I'm in-house, with very affordable insurance, I'm happy as a clam but would vote for whichever party protects Medicaid and pre-existing condition protections because I view those as valuable insurance should anything catastrophic happen to me or my loved ones in the future.
