ReplyDeleteRemember this as another example of how leftists are hurting the poor and middle class. Use it as one of the things you explain to those who don't quite understand why it isn't a good idea to let your emotions decide who you vote for.
ReplyDeleteHopefully the next president will have enough of a sack to repeal this piece of horsesh*t "affordable care act".
