If ACA goes away and people have to find their own policies you can count on millions of people being denied coverage because of preexisting conditions. The ACA made it illegal for insurance companies to refuse coverage or raise rates for preexisting medical issues. I know because I was one of them.

It’s been really disheartening to see the things people say about those who use SNAP. Many seem to have little understanding of why the program exists in the first place.

I could not be more proud of the city where I spent 20 years living and working. #Aurora.
Never in my life did I think I would see this from a mayor to police: “We would like the Aurora Police Department to play a historic role in defending the United States of America, and our city against fascism. We have a unique opportunity to do something different….”
I haven't seen people here mention this letter from the mayor of Illinois' 2nd-largest city (Aurora, 40+% Latino)
to the Aurora Police

So here it is!

THIS IS WHAT FASCISM LOOKS LIKE:
Disabled Medicaid activists in wheelchairs were just ZIP-TIED and ARRESTED by Capitol Police for protesting inside the Russell Senate Office Building.
Their banner was ripped from their hands. They were fighting for healthcare—and got handcuffs instead.
