"It's really harmful to people who rely on rural hospitals” Piper said. "We also know that there are tax cuts in there for the wealthiest, so they're getting rid of health care and instead giving it to wealthy folks. So, wealth care, if you will." www.kq2.com/news/second-...

I think this will enable Trump's donors Google and Amazon to finally make their dream of remote healthcare via pricey subscription plans a reality. It will get federal dollars, fleece citizens, move into Medicare and Medication. Privitization.

Having been to a few 'No Kings' marches myself, I'm genuinely curious: How many marchers have friends who support the current president, and why do they maintain those friendships?

Getting rich on denying healthcare to those who need it the most. Sounds a lot like the United Healthcare business model, on steroids.

Republican response “well we’re going to lose a few along the way” “cutting food and healthcare, allowing extended magazines, and silencers so we can thin the herd”! 🤭

People will move to urban areas where medical care is closer. Most urban areas in the US vote blue.

My sister in Texas already had to get airlifted to another hospital because they couldn't do a CT scan for stroke in her local hospital. I don’t know how many hours she'd have to drive to see a cardiologist that accepts her insurance. Things will be even worse after this.

Hey Jess, great work as always. If you have any pull with no kings organizers, could you please ask them to settle on say one or two dates a month permanently so we can all publicize them appropriately to continue building turnout?

For I’m time being, I’m using Medicaid and I’ve talked to our hospitals. There are no danger of the rural hospitals… As it is, it’s gonna be until 2027 before the wall before the law Goes into affect so instead of complaining, let’s do something about it

It's time for Americans who live in the box of illusion step out into the world of reality, because their elected officials that they voted into office literally stabbed them in the back. They were lied to directly to their faces. Disinformation rotted MAGA voters brain.
