The day after Trump was elected, I talked to my Dad (a Trump supporter) about how I was terrified we& #39;d lose our insurance or have the #lifetimecap return. He said to me, "Don& #39;t worry, honey. Mr. Trump won& #39;t hurt people like you." https://twitter.com/nicholas_bagley/status/1311634170704211970">https://twitter.com/nicholas_...
I haven& #39;t spoken to him since January 2017, when I had the stones to send him (and the rest of my family, who WAS excited to see it) a picture of @BarackObama , who I had the privilege of seeing in @voxdotcom / @sarahkliff & #39;s "What& #39;s Next in Obamacare" interview at Blair House.
I& #39;ve shared my story over and over again and again over the past 4 years. @SylviaBurwell shared it at her farewell HHS presentation at @PressClubDC . I was a guest of @RepSchneider at the Joint Session Speech in 2017 and had some press around that event so I could...
share my story AGAIN. My Rep, @janschakowsky, brought our story to committee. Last week, I stood with @SenatorDurbin and shared my story again. How is it that I can keep sharing this story -- at local and national levels -- and people STILL believe Trump over me?
The two people who brought me into this world: Trump supporters. 90% of the kids I went to high school with: Trump supporters. How is it that no matter how many times I share my story -- they choose to believe THAT GUY? We dodged a bullet when my husband
was diagnosed with #leukemia. The #ACA had already banned the #lifetimecap we previously had on our employer group insurance. MY HUSBAND BEAT CANCER AND WE DIDN& #39;T FILE FOR BANKRUPTCY BECAUSE OF THE ACA. Why can& #39;t that get through???
When I text bank and voters ask why I support Biden, I tell them about the #ACA and my husband& #39;s leukemia story. They tell me the ACA didn& #39;t save my husband/family & that the doctor would just lower the cost for us. Do they know how aggressive/expensive leukemia treatment is?
Voters (via text banking) have threatened me with their AR-22. I& #39;ve had a bunch of gentleman tell me to & #39;eat their dick& #39;. I get the Q folks and the pedo nonsense. But nothing shakes me more than sharing a one sentence FACT about how that law
protected my family and having someone respond in Trumpese about the ACA and that I should go and & #39;educate myself.& #39; FOUR years of talking to newspapers and news cameras and joining Tweetstorms and close to 100,000 texts to voters since July and I& #39;m in the exact
same spot I was in November 2016. There are days where I& #39;m confident we& #39;ll flip it all on November 3rd (and other days where I can barely get out of bed). In the event we do win... how do we get through to these die-hards? Seriously?
And here I am, yet again, sharing my story: https://www.chicagotribune.com/business/ct-obamacare-repeal-worries-employees-1218-biz-20161214-story.html">https://www.chicagotribune.com/business/...
