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 think the thing I miss most since Trumps first run is my sense of empathy and sympathy. I used to have a belief of sure there’s disagreement and there’s room for it. Fuck that noise now. Republicans keep voting to hurt my friends consistently. At this point anyone says they’re a republican I assume they’ve lost all sense of humanity, and the head of their party at this point has zero redeeming qualities… even amongst his supporters his chronic backstabbing can’t stop.
I agree. It’s madness.
