There is no way to calculate the amount of harm this administration has caused. Even if this 19yo is able to come back to this country & be reunited with her family, the trauma of this incident will be with her forever. How can she ever feel safe here again? And how does this make anyone else safer?

Just after Christmas, on his birthday, her son found his mom draped over her bed, dead.
An autopsy would later confirm what she had feared:
Preeclampsia killed her at 20 weeks pregnant.

That never happened.
Oct. 14, 2024, for the sake of her 14-year-old son, she asked her doctor at Methodist Hospital Northeast near San Antonio for an abortion to protect her health.
The doctor said there was no emergency; nothing was wrong with her pregnancy, only her health.

He/They won't fight for Subsidies. My insurance is going up starting in January more than double what I'm paying now. Just shy of 3 times the amount I'm paying now. If they won't fight for extending the Subsidies,Medicare4All, or a Public Option,one has to ask, just WTH are they fighting for?

That's why we fought so hard for the Public Option. Yes! Government run health care just like members of congress gets. Aides who work for congress should have the same access as the people they work for do.

Very worried about this voter in Maine: a facial skin cancer like hers could easily blind her, while killing her slowly. Please please please we need HEALTH CARE COVERAGE in the US so NO ONE has to suffer the loss of treatments, or coverage. We need to make full health care coverage happen.
