Wouldn't be surprised if he missed his inauguration for not being able to find DC on a map either.

Because old and disabled people can afford hundreds of dollars for the shittiest health care plan in America that does not even cover things like pap smears. Hey 50 year old ladies, we don't care if you get cervical cancer!
Fortunately for me, that isn't likely to take effect until after my hubby graduates and gets a job, so hopefully we'll be able to pay for my $120 a month health care plan at that point. As it is, I cannot afford to see a doctor even with the premium paid. My costs for a 15 minute med check after medicare pays it's portion is $80. The cost to get a full check up is over $200, AFTER medicare pays. Great deal, eh? My husband and I haven't even had preventative checkups in years. I just a get my med check twice a year and try to cope.
Trump won't fix this. congress does not care. They'll just take away the little protection the poor have, which I guess will be some relief to the middle class.
Maybe they will finally go for single payer, who knows Trump make shock us all.
