The Crux of the Shutdown

By Mary Hawkins, Kenosha WI

Trump continuously promised to protect Medicare, Medicaid, and the Affordable Care Act to give our country the health care we deserve.  This is the issue that we as  Americans care about.  Health care is the issue that Trump is repeatedly betraying his promises to the country.

  • Saying he would not cut Medicaid and doing so.
  • Saying he would fix the Affordable Care Act and then allowing a GIGANTIC  premium spike to happen.
  • Saying he would introduce a new better, cheaper healthcare plan. Instead health care will be more complex and expensive.

Trump and his MAGA Congress continually refuse to negotiate in a straightforward, honest way with Democrats.

Many Americans are already struggling to put food on the table and  make ends meet.  How will Americans be able to afford significantly higher  health care premiums?  Also, many physicians may not accept the new healthcare plans.  

The effects of Trump’s policies disproportionately impact  working-class families.   Is this what Americans deserve?
