Thank you Heather . As always you have done an exemplary job in laying out a roadmap for us on this rather exploding news day. With every nugget of news from yesterday, I find I am particularly repulsed by the fact that Trump only paid $750.00 in taxes for several years. Perhaps because that is less than the quarterly cost for just the 20 minute consult with my Oncologist. My testing every 3 months alone is more than 6 times what that derelict paid in yearly taxes. To me, the perspective is staggering.
I hear you--my monthly oncology and appointments, according to my health insurance statements, would cost me $30,000 A MONTH if I were not insured through work. And I have consistently fallen through every "crack" between the wealthy haves whose tax burdens have bottomed out and the not wealthy "have nots" who have seen a modest reduction in their taxes. I have paid more in federal taxes in the last three years than ever previously--as my salary has fallen in value because of no raises at all. These are existential issues that the Repos in the Senate, sheltered as they are because of taxpayer-funded platinum healthcare, pensions, and protections, refuse to acknowledge. I don't even think about the deranged resident of the White House in this context: as a pathological narcissist he isn't capable of empathy anyway.

Bless you and the millions of people is similar situations. We must make health care reform a top priority 🙏
