This is from Feb. 2017. History may repeat itself. Republicans, including Trump, want to Repeal the Affordable Healthcare Act (Obamacare) and don't have a viable plan to replace it with.
Kathy Watson was anxious about her health coverage even before she woke up gasping for breath last month and drove herself to the emergency room with a flare-up in her heart condition.
After struggling for years without insurance, the 55-year-old former small-business owner — who has battled diabetes, high blood pressure and two cancers — credits Obamacare with saving her life.
Watson also voted for Donald Trump, believing the businessman would bring change. She dismissed his campaign pledges to scrap the Affordable Care Act as bluster.
Now, as she watches the new president push to kill the law that provided her with a critical lifeline, Watson finds herself among many Trump supporters who must reconcile their votes with worries about the future of their healthcare.
Watson, a proud, salty woman who was uninsurable a few years ago, isn’t ready to renounce Trump. But she’s increasingly frustrated by his vague promises to replace Obamacare with something better.
“I’ve been through enough,” Watson said recently, sitting on the patio outside her mobile home, down a sandy road in a rural corner of northern Florida. “I don’t want to go back.”

When we discuss the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade we have to first understand that African people are the Original people of North, Central & South America & have been in the land we call U.S. at least 51,700 years. We can’t start studying our history in SLAVERY. Even when we study the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade, which is important to study, we can’t start in 1619 or in the 1440s when the Portuguese get involved. We have to understand the history chronologically and deal with the 800 year occupation of Europe by the Africans known as the Moors who enter into the Iberian Peninsula, today known as Spain and Portugal, from North Africa in 711A.D. This course not only deals with the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade but thousands of years of history that leads up to the Slave Trade of African people taking place.

Aug. 20th, 2019 marked the 400th year Anniversary of the “20 and odd Africans” who came into Point Comfort on Aug. 20th, 1619 in what would later be called the colony of Virginia. This year was known as “The Year Of Return” as many African Americans were reconnecting to Africa and traveling to Ghana and other West African countries to reconnect to their Ancestry and learn their history. When we discuss the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade we have to first understand that African people are the Original people of North, Central & South America & have been in the land we call U.S. at least 51,700 years.

Y'alls insurrectionist President just became the ONLY one ever to be a convicted felon. 🐸 🍵
While this marks the first time Trump is being held accountable, we know his followers will rally behind him. His donations will skyrocket, and so will their efforts.
We need to be prepared to fight back. As long as they are fighting this, the threat of white supremacy rising and winning still exists. Chip in to our emergency far-right watch fund now >> https://bit.ly/4c26Ldg
