Letters: Trump is hurting Americans
Re “Trump to issue stop-payment order on health care subsidies” (sacbee.com, Oct. 13): Take the blinders off, folks. Remember when Republicans said the Affordable Care Act was a death warrant? Guess what: Trump just changed that to “No money - too bad.” I quit my middle class job with full benefits to care for our mother. Before I reach Medicare, the ACA has been my lifesaver. That will end without the subsidies. For everyone else, this means higher (unaffordable) premiums, exclusions for pre-existing illnesses, and high deductibles for health services. Trump has a mentality of every man for himself. Hey, after all one nation under a white God. We have the right to a great America. I’m not so sure anymore that’s where we are heading under the Trump.
