- We travel to Whitley County in Kentucky to find out why people who benefited most from Obamacare would vote for Donald Trump. Some thought that Trump would not actually repeal Obamacare. Others felt that Obamacare wasn't affordable.

Watching this as a European is just strange
depressingly so.
It's just the typical American thing isn't it?
They just keep shouting "TAXES!", but no country that has introduced public healthcare has ever then stepped away from it... take a wild guess why.
Aeon Zero Sure, it’s nice having a lot of money and being healthy.
But everyone will get sick one day and it’d cost a lot of money, making richer people poor and poor people dead.
Why not care for your future and invest a tiny little, compared to medical prices, on healthcare?
@@starstencahl8985 I think you misunderstood me, re-read my comment, I agree 100% with you!
"Obamacare is too expensive"
"How about free heath care then?"
"No, that's socialism!"
Have you heard of Canada
@@DrewSchliebner he's mocking us Americans. I don't have that opinion. I'm all for national free healthcare. One free thing nationally isn't socialism. Government phones. (Obama phones)

@Tyler Ward When and where has it been proven to be worse?
@@EmmaShadyLilly "proven" because right-wing pundits and and FOX say it is
Obama care got me into rehab, I got clean, I have a job now that gives me health benefits, Im no longer on obama care. . In a way Obama care turned my life around. No other president has passed a bill that has helped me like that.
Congrats! I'm trying to get clean myself. I wanna be like you when I grow up. Lol
Now you know how wrong people were to not revote obama
@@verloser Obama did get revoted. A lot of people probably want him to have a third term, but he isn't allowed to run for a third term because there's term limits.
@Linda C. the people that work with insurance? You mean insurance companies that are worth bilions right?
Exactly Their not OUT of the Solution. They WERE and STILL are part of the problem.
They. Big corp Insurances Didn't want ACA to pass because it took control of the people and money away from them. But in order to get get SOME measure of the act passed the owners of the bill had to concede and compromise with those lobbying for Big Corp insurance companies. So a loop whole fir them was carved into it so they can play.
Once they were back in they slowly started raising rates. Using frivolous lies or in some cases No reasons.
This video illustrates how little people know about whose pulling their strings. Florida has the largest number of people on ACA. Yet consistently vote against their own rights.
I Don't get it.
Imagine being against human rights because its made by a different party than yours
If it was a human right then you wouldn't have to raise taxes to do it
@TheVinc123 you would raise taxes, but you wouldn't pay for insurance, things like premiums which cost thousands
@@TheVinc123 that’s not at all how it works
@@TheVinc123
The fact that you said those set of words about this certain topic shows that you should not be talking about this topic at all. No offense, but I lost brain cells reading your comment.
@@TheVinc123 Then you wouldn’t have an efficient government. Taxes are the backbone revenue of any government dating back to ancient civilizations, it may not support human rights most of the time but would you rather live in a ordered society or one with no governing body?

In her defense, naming it after a politician isn't great. Remember the pushback towards Trump naming the potential Covid- 19 vaccine as Trump vaccine? I think it was because of that.
@@rickardkaufman3988 the thing it's not called Obamacare officially and it never has. The name got picked up by the media and Republicans to discredit it. It was clearly a mistake Obama should have tried to amend with more intent. But ultimately Republicans will continue to call it Obamacare instead of ACA so that voters who hate Obama, rather stupidly hate the health care just by association.
@@elr492 in addition to this. Obama actually played a part in the ACA. Trump did nothing for the vaccine. He even tried to ignore the virus it was going to help.
@@Juddster101 that’s right and I detest Trump for that. The guy literally did the bare minimum when it came to virus and denied it more times that not and then he has the gall to take the credit from the vaccine researchers and name the vaccine after himself.

You don't get it?
Yeah, if he just put his money in the market he would be worth WAY more than the way that he invested it. He's a terrible businessman in reality.
When you're born with a billion dollars and got inside info what makes you such a great business person? Trump ripped off a lot of people. When you have the big bucks you can get away with anything in this country.
I am waiting for the day he is out of office and have to fight with all the lawsuits waiting for him. Just NY states cases will take the rest of his lifetime in court and paying lawyers.
Because he is an American who believes in Americans.
"He knows money" filed for bankruptcy twice...
He’s a master of business and thriftyness.
More than twice, actually. And almost all his businesses have tanked.

"Obamacare is too expensive"

Private Healthcare is overwhelmingly better though. Look at the crisis currently ongoing in the UK over private and public healthcare.
@@elm5163 depends where
@@elm5163
Yeah that's because
Receiving private medical care does not impact your access to NHS services at any time

Cathy on the phone while driving, that's how confident she is in her health care system 😂😂😂
But she was all good. There was only three other cars on the road.
Its so sad that they actually believe Trump cares about poor people. Subsidized health insurance is better than none and putting all your chips on a guy who says he's gonna replace it without any sort of details was incredibly dumb.
Chelsea B. Interesting, how are you feeling? Do you actually care, or is that what you tell people.
Chelsea B. Tell me, how much did Hilary care about poor people exactly??
hes gonna keep it until they find a better system
Son of Anarchy she cared enough not to threaten to repeal it when it helps millions. that would do more harm than good. that's the obvious answer
You'd have better odds if you gave a random crackhead standing on a corner in Las Vegas some money and ask him to gamble with it for you and to come back give what he won, then the GOP replacing the ACA... All these dumb Americans that voted for Trump are gonna be in a real shock when they find out that he doesn't give a crap about them...

Nice, true facts out here
And I think the $750 tax he paid (for 2 out of 10 years) bought him an estimated $600,000+ medical care...paid for by their taxes!
I went to the hospital. On January 2, 2019, I had an exam early in the afternoon and I expected to be back home for supper. But after looking at the results of the exam, the hospital personnel said "We keep you". I came back home on February 20th after heart surgery. Then there was a complication due to a prescription error and I was taken to the hospital in an ambulance in dire emergency in the second week of March. My heart stopped... After it was re-started, they kept for me another 3 weeks. There were kinesitherapy, medication, surgery, readaptation, a long convalescence. Back home, I benefited of two months of home care by professional nurses. Now I am healthy and feeling well.
Guess how much it cost me?
Guess first then keep on reading after...
OK : total : $13.00 parking for my car.
If you don't understand I'll explain it in two words : I'm Canadian!
the implication alone that it was American Healthcare made me read the cost at 13,000. Then when I read Canadian, I scrolled back up and saw $13.00 Mercy and Goodness!

Because of Covid

Looking at numbers today is skewed because of the Covid pandemic. If you look at the end of 2019, unemployment was at record lows
Trump didn’t help at all, he actually held rally’s that spread COVID like wild fire. And the BLM riots did not cause a spike in COVID cases
@@averyboccella2390 I agree with you, it is illogical to blame Trump for a virus that started in China; however, it is his complete lack of suitable response and leadership that we blame. Donald trump should have reacted much sooner, much more authoritatively, and should have taken the objective to the federal level. It is simply too ineffective to have 50 different responses to a single nationwide crisis.
this isnt even funny i just feel sorry for these people
I don't. The racism and ignorance wasn't forced on them. It's just a consequence of their own laziness.
Same the only way to fix this country is if we lift the people who can’t get proper education up. I don’t care what color your skin is. I live in the exact region that this is happening in. Southwest Virginia. There are a lot of people who are too ignorant to realize they’re shooting themselves in the foot when they vote for someone like Trump. And of course there’s the racism but that all comes back to the issue of poor funding for proper education in this region of the country.

antique store lady: he knows money
Trump: *has been bankrupt 6 times*
Professor Boobies you do realize Trump has run for president 5 times before and never made it past primaries right? Also my comment was not about Hillary, it was about how Trump is not good with money, despite what this lady said.
90sProject's channelV2 6 corp bankruptcies, who cares if they are personal? still a shitty businessman. I prefer businessmen who have never filed bankruptcy. guess I'm silly like that.
wtf.makeup Over 500 companies and a total of 6 bankruptcies? That's a success rate of around 99%. Hard pressed to find that anywhere else with an equal amount of companies
90sProject's channelV2 no, most of his ideas and businesses are failures. just because they didn't all end in bankruptcy doesn't mean they were successfull
Professor Boobies many of those buildings have the trump name on them. doesn't mean he owns them
As a Canadian i don't understand why these people are against Medicare for all. No deductables, no copays, no premiums. Its painful to watch these people do mental gymnastics to vote against their own interests.
God that old lady's reaction at 2:04 just warms my heart
Same. And the way she seemed geuinely excited to see Obama too. I really enjoy videos like this. I detest what Trump did to the country, and because of that I resent the people who keep supporting him. A lot of time I feel that these people base their decisions on racism, xenophobia, and homophobia. However lots of time I feel that these folks are just... simple. They could and often be very nice people, the only problem is they lack critical thinking. I often wonder if a constant conversation with them can change their minds.
I want to feel bad for these people, but I can't. You are going to vote for someone simply because they say they can " repeal and replace it with something better" all they said was that it is BETTER without having a plan to prove that its better. I really don't feel sympathy for these people. We all have one vote and you used your vote to vote against your own interests, to bad so sad.
flora quint so bigly sad!..........
If you feel no sympathy for those people, perhaps you're not quite different from their lack of empathy with those who were negatively affected by the Trump effect.
***** I wouldn't agree, Sorry but I believe they voted on their personal preferences and prejudices and that is what happened. They voted against their own interest. They voted for him, I feel bad for people that knew better and didn't vote for him but will still be negatively affect by the repeal of Obamacare.
You obviously need to research in more detail of the election.
Nonetheless, what you're doing is selective empathy, which is pretty much what those people do (they just care about themselves & their social sphere or their bigot 'acceptable classes', completely ignoring those they deem as wrong in certain aspects such as politics [or being born wrong]). You're not as bigot as they are, definitively. But you're no less selective.
So they like Obamacare but they want to replace it with something "even better"? Something like - you live in a 1 floor house. The house has 2 bedrooms, 1 kitchen. The bathroom has few leaks, the kitchen is a bit dirty but overall the house is working. Then one day someone with a hair brighter than the sun comes in and say "I will destroy your house and replace with something better.". You don't ask questions what that better house is - does it have more rooms, more furniture, second and third floor, a basement, a garage ... you just say "OK, do it.". Next week you won't have a house and you are willing to live on the street on a promise? You got to be kiddin me.
Great analogy, most people don't understand that is easier to improve something that it has been done, that create something new.
thank you, that's exactly what is happening, at least I understand how many of these people tend to be racist/prejudice. They are absolutely brainless.
Marush Denchev Exactly! Even Obama admitted it wasn't perfect, like having, 'repairs done'. But the response to a few leaky pipes isn't to knock the God damn house to the ground!
Wow. That's the best analogy I've come across. I should start using it.
Marush Denchev what a great analogy Oh my goodness
Four years later, trump never came up with the something new he kept spewing about.
"I think Donald Trump will fix it. He knows money."
That is exactly why he WON'T fix it; he knows money. The name of the game in his world is making money for yourself; not fixing social problems. Its so sad to me that so many people still don't get this. We genuinely believe that putting a business person in office who only knows how to make money for themselves means they are aware or educated enough about social issues to fix them.
So most people underestimated his stupidity and overestimated his honesty
Great point !
maybe most people can not identify stupidity not knowing any better , but they can id honesty better
Yes, that's trump supporters in a nutshell
Both are mindboggling, it was so very obvious, from the first time I saw this ridiculous man - and then he started talking....
I think it's the other way around, Trump said he was gonna remove Obama care and they still voted for him lol
I don't understand these people.
"Oh yeah it's a great thing, I just hate how Obama's name is on it. And how he made it. And how he's president. And how he's *black.*"
lol no one said that, they hate how expensive it is
Thomas
*but it saves lives*
i don't know about you, but i would probably pay some amount of money to nor _die_ .
Thomas - Health Insurance will never be free and it comes with a cost. If those people had a pre-existing condition prior to ACA with no insurance they wouldn't been seen by a doctor without money. The too expensive meme is old and tired like the racist people spouting off about Obmacare.
When you bite the hand that feeds you
Every time I watch one of these American health care videos I want to scream. As a European, I am so taken aback by the attitudes of American people. It must be a terrifying place to live as the idea of the stress of illness being compounded by the potential for losing everything financially and becoming bankrupt is so scary.
Yeah but the thing is that most of the time the hospital forgives the cost for expensive surgery but yeah sometimes a small surgery can break your wallet
Kudos to Obama for publicly saying if Republicans could repeal and replace Obamacare with a better plan he would publicly acknowledge it and support it. Sounds like he's for the American people and less about partisan politics to me
So far the best damn president that country has ever seen.
You're so easily fooled.

Something called the free market, can provide much better Healthcare at lower costs
@@flooavenger So why doesn't it then? I feel like it worked for a while in the US but has since become a greedy industry that operates for profit. Private insurance could work but I do think there need to be some laws and regulations that keep it fair.
@@codyanderson6249 it was working super well, my friends grandma used to pay 5 dollars a month to be completely covered. Not free but efficient, when you declare something a right you get less of it, the quality goes down and price goes up. When Medicare and medicaid were passed, my friends grandmas doctor started increasing his prices on her bill. She confronted him and he said that its nothing to worry about since it was covered by the government. It was working so well but electives tried buying votes by promising free Healthcare instead. You see how it goes downhill from there? If the US stuck to the principles of the constitution we'd be 20 times ahead of every other country. Healthcare food shelter etc. Are not rights for a reason. If the government monopolizes anything it will always be done inefficiently. Free market capitalism with private charity, soup kitchens, churches etc. Is the most optimal and moral system.

We could have world-class free health care for every American if this country didn't blow its budget on the military and corporate welfare.
naah, count how much is 5% american gdp then compare it to those world class health care you said btw every country need at least 5% gdp on average for their millitary budget
Spartanunit117 naw, we could easily afford free healthcare, and free education.
Richard u dont know just how massive the us economy is do ya. otherwise u wouldnt have made such an idiotic comment.
What I find crazy is the US out spends the UK on heath care by percentage of its GDP yet the UK provides free universal health care to all its citizens, no worrying about no coverage. Also virtually all the public support universal health care, any political party that tried to get rid of it would be out of office.
Richard
Not only great health care, but free university education as well.
Trump has fooled so many people. This is super depressing. We need Medicare for All.
Or ar least lower the price what kind of country is this why do I have to pay like over $6 for a band aid in a medical setting
Obamacare created a pseudo monopoly where healthcare systems and insurers can inflate as much as they wish. Medicare for all would create a situation where instead of a hospital negotiating different rates for different insurers (claiming each one is the rock bottom best they can do), they would only be dealing with the government, most likely driving prices down. Politicians and pundits will of course start screaming about how raiding taxes are only answer, and people will buy it, since the majority are unable to see beyond the false dichotomy presented to them. The taxes (if they needed additional for funding) could be applied to pharmaceutical companies (during opioid crisis the idea of taxing each pain pill was presented and swiftly shot down, but something similar). Or I may be wrong or over simplifying
Especially now.
First we need health care providers (hospitals, etc.) to stop charging exorbitant fees. Good luck to anyone who's unfortunate enough to be hospitalized even for a short time. Take a look at the itemized bill... there's the whole problem with the U.S. healthcare system.
Roslyn Gordon I completely agree
The problem was the governor refused to take the federal money to keep the cost down for the recipients
Any one else notice she was driving on the phone? XD
i hope a cop sees this and fines her

Obama care saved my life..... it needs tweaks but I was well cared for until Medicare kicked in .my premium was affordable.
3 years later, you should do a follow up interview
“He knows money” she says. He filed bankruptcy 6 times and defaulted on a $48 million dollar loan.
Then uses his 1 BILLION dollar in (casino) bankruptcy losses as write offs to not pay ANY income taxes even until today. Just in case you are wondering why the American people can't see his tax returns.
He payed two women lol 😂😆
Doesn't matter.
@Defiantly not the FBI , absolutely mind boggling
Many wealthy folks have gone broke even more than once before becoming wealthy.
what a great video. love how vox is explaining on both sides of this issue
You see which ones are partisans and which ones arent by the comments this video gets.
Same here...very surprising Vox did a vid that has more of a "neutral" tone towards Trump...
Well at least shows why people voted for him...
no
eleanorgloria sam funny that it makes the trump supporters seem even more stupid.
Comyu it's because they legitimately are stupid. No special editing needed.
“Trump knows money” yea everybody else’s money. Mostly Putin’s.
Anyone else watching on election day... While it still hasn't been repealed?
trump: "im going to revoke obamacare"
white americans: "he aint going to do that, im gonna vote for trump"
trump: *revokes obamacare*
white americans: *surprised pikachu face*
Not all WHITE Americans voted for Trump😂
Trump is done with 2020
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@christianbryant5617 But almost all white Kentucky residents did.
What amazes me is that the republican party continues to attack the ACA when it's overwhelmingly popular. It's just bad politics for them and they still do it. The protections for pre-existing conditions and the Medicaid expansion in the ACA is extremely popular. All I can think is that the health insurance lobbyists are pressuring them to squash the ACA and they are listening. Otherwise it just seems like horrible politics.
I live in a third world country with free health care. My state just flattened the Corona curve.
And all my life I thought Americans had a pretty good standard of living and was way ahead of us! LOL
Mariya RiYa , There is nowhere health care is free it’s paid for by everybody free at source but paid for !!! But you don’t need money up front for it !!!
@@sandydobbie1255 Well... we pay taxes. So do Americans. Yet they don't have free health care.
Mariya RiYa , You still pay !!! It’s more affordable than in the USA, health in the USA has been turned into a money making multi million dollar industry !!! If yo have no money in the USA you have no health care !!!
No we're not not under Trump's leadership with not!!
lol America is good at marketing and polishing turds. America has a worse standard of living than many 3rd world country. the US IS a non-free third world country. The only thing it has going for it is a big military. Thats literally it. 80% of Americans cant come up with an unexpected $400 expense, and are living paycheck to paycheck. they are a few missed paychecks away from living under a bridge.
For me like European I still don’t understand this. Unbelievable unbelievable.. I never we never have to worry about bill from DR or hospital. Was always covered by state. All classes! All races! This is terrible
Well this didn't age well considering the lack of activity from Trump..."Who knew Healthcare was so complicated?" Everyone! knew it was complicated.
Americans don’t like expensive but hate free even more. I don’t get it. Do they even know what they want?
I'm for "free" healthcare, but its not really free. Instead of paying directly when you need it, taxes go up and the government handles the bills for you. Most people don't want increased taxes even if they would pay less money for healthcare overall.
@@oliverhorn7884 but it costs less lol.
I pay about 2% of my taxes for my universal 100% medicare coverage in Australia.
I get better coverage and pay less overall than Americans with insurance.
This simply comes down to people being to stubborn to realise universal healthcare is better, more efficent and costs less.
@@oliverhorn7884 most people do want M4A tho. I think it polls at around 60% favourability. :)
No
Simple answer is, no.
As someone who lives in England, seeing this just perplexes me. We should ALL be entitled to a basic human need of being healthy, just makes me appreciate the NHS even more.
@jack carley.....Perplexing?? More like mind boggling ! Healthcare shouldn't be a"partisan" issue.
Don't get complacent and take the NHS for granted.
Bill lol clown, I’m just pointing it out and it seems like you didn’t even read what I had to say........ “appreciate” mustn’t register on your vocabulary
Hey Audrey, is there a college near you with a dental program? The dental schools where I live will often have the students do cleanings and checkups for cheap/free, and sometimes they can do more. Sorry if you've already tried this, but it could be an affordable way to get the help you need. I once had to wait a year for a root canal and I wouldn't wish that on anyone, so I hope your teeth are doing better soon.
And most europeans are with you. I was living in the US at the time of the signing up for Obamacare, and that alone made me understand the non-starter quality of the concept. I live in a scandinavian country, and we dont sign up for anything. Its automatic. Just like the NHS and most EU countries.
Obamacare in its original form has so many faults to it, it could never work. The only way to go is tax subsides from all to all. This is called communism in the US and lots of people hate it.
Works in good old Europe, where nobody has to be bankrupt from a serious illness. If I were to live in the US, I would most likely live in the streets in a cardboard box by now.
It’d be interesting to see who they voted for in 2020
Trump:)
Trump ! They are SUICIDAL & EVER ASK , “WHY CAN’T WE , GET SAME Health Care our God Trump has ?
Political divides in the US have become so bleak that people will value their beliefs more than their own health. I wish we would just put politics aside sometimes to help people.
How, when one party's policy is to make the poor poorer and wealth-class-mobility lower?
I really can't feel sorry for someone who blatantly shot themselves in the foot.
They'd prefer to trust a white man with a history of shady, self--serving dealings, over an educated black one offering them what they need. Mind boggling.
Joseph C. I agree. I don’t have any sympathy for anyone whining about healthcare who was against Obama. He actually did something that saved lives. Trump supporters deserve what he gives them. And we all know what that is.
@@ZPD-doo-DAH He out foxed the Republicans and took their Healthcare plan created by the Republican think tank THE HERITAGE
FOUNDATION what we know as the ACA, but was originally used by MItt romney when he was governor of Massachusetts . Later to
be adopted by Obama and the democrats. Leaving us still stuck with their Big Pharma buddies and the for profit Health Insurance
industry and we still pay more for less each year. The only way you will fix our Healthcare system is get the for profit motive out of
it. Medicare for All. BERNIE2020!!!!!
How do these people they interviewed who were all over 50 think that they are going to get cheap health care from Trump? Where does the money come from to pay for it? Are they going to raise income or payroll taxes? Health care costs money especially for older Americans.
they already pay for it. unfortunately their state and federal government is completely ran by third parties that leech our government dry. weapons manufacturers who lobby for war, then provide arms to both sides of the war, and lobby to keep it going. the money we spend on our military could provide healthcare to everyone in our hemisphere, and have enough leftover to still be the most overfunded and deadly military on the planet.
TheGerm24 just like buying a car.. to get a cheaper price for the car you want you have to shop around.. when there is competition for a client then the prices will drop.. right now there is no competition.. there are monopolies in some states and they charge an arm and a leg for their health care.. because they can and you don't have a choice..
healthy competition will lower prices overall.. simple as that..
TheGerm24 well,it should come from the rich paying more taxes....but that will never happen
Describe healthy competition. Not everyone lives in an area with multiple healthcare providers. Also, in an emergency, you can't tell the ambulance where to go. I think increased price transparency and competition would help lower healthcare costs, but it is far from the full solution. I'm more talking about healthcare costs not just insurance rates. They are related but not exactly the same thing.
Two-Face translates to: if the rich were simply forced to actually pay all their taxes (write-offs and other loopholes are all geared to benefit the rich) ...
Please redo this interview with the same people love to see those faces
I really appreciated this video, it seemed like you guys weren't taking a side, allowing us to understand both sides of an issue better, thank you
Watching this as a european seems like watching a documentary about a third world country 😂
Eastern Kentucky and adjacent parts of neighboring states is one of the two or three poorest and least educated regions in the U.S. This is Appalachia.
you laugh but this is extremely depressing for me and every other American.
Take me with you! Help us!
@Philby Dolan Im doing everything i can do. but it's hard when the entire government is corrupt. both parties.
Watching this as somebody who lives in a 3rd world country, seems (if existed) like watching people from5th world country 🤦♀️
I would love a second interview with the same people to see if they have changed their opinions or if they still support Trump
Yess
It would be interesting 😂
Even if trump takes bankrupt them, Leave them with nothing, They will still be voting for him.
Health care is a consumer good. Subsidizing consumer goods is not a great business practice. Obama subsidized the Chevrolet Volt with 2.4 billion for the car and 60 billion for GM. GM is now bankrupt. Soooooo should we do the same with healthcare?
It is also easy to point fingers and blame people for a failing empire. I think Obama just followed his direction from John Podesta and some economist that he nodded at during the bailout news conference. Trump was running for a wall to stop the child trafficking at the Mexican border. So far the border has been rebuilt bypassing the Hotel September and other $7/hour room brothels. Mexico has also invested on their side. Unfortunately it is our tradition to take advantage of the world so even if we change the route and look, human trafficking will exist in relation to economic disparity.
Education system in this country really failed
They need to ask trump what happened to his healthcare plan it’s been a long two weeks😂😂😂😂
These people voted for Trump hoping that he was lying about a campaign promise.
JPfromFlint LOL and smh.
JPfromFlint "I don't want to vote for a politician because they are all talk and no action"- Trump supporters
"trump wants to repeal Obamacare"- me
"He's just saying he's all talk"- trump supports

Yes, that's the takeaway from this. Also, his supporters really aren't smart.

«He knows money» He has also been bankrupt 4 times, and only saved by the bank because their loosing to much money on him otherwise

Congrats, y'all just played yourselves
spuds yup

I'm Canadian and we have our problems too, .....but having health care is like having clean water. Just assumed.
Patriot Muckraker bullshit and poppycock
@Patriot Muckraker NOPE
We can't even manage to get clean water in some places in the US. It's embarrassing how backwards we are in some respects.
Nina Sparrow I hear ya..... But still better off than most of the world. Canada's taxes are much higher than USA. Anyway, I think Americans and Canadians are essentially the same....... Except I have not met a Canadian yet that likes Donald Trump.
@Patriot Muckraker - So you're an expert on Canada are you? How long have you lived in Canada? I fell off my bike and broke my arm. I had my arm looked at by a doctor and in a sling by the end of the day. And you know how much it cost me? NOTHING. My life wasn't ruined by an accident.
Watching any video of when Obama was in office just makes me sad. Such a better time.
"I think he will try hes a business person, so I think he'll fix a lot of things"
Trump in the next 3 years: "Affordable healthcare? Who needs it."
Weirdly enough, if these same people would've looked into tRump, they had realized that he is a failed businessman that took out bankruptcy SIX times. It's easy, look it up!
This is so sad. That one woman said she hated Obama but liked healthcare but would still vote for someone who would repel it because she didn't think he would. sigh....
Congress needs to pass a law that all Trump voters be kicked off Obamacare immediately
Jamaar DeBoise Stupid is what stupid does that's why we have a president who cares so little about his voters that he willing to take away something they need the most AFFORDABLE HEALTHCARE !
repealing ACA "Obama care" is so monumentally stupid that these people couldn't even conceive of someone stupid enough to do so
Ps the republican have tried to 'kick all Trump voters off Obamacare' and failed, three times now.
also the idea that a multi-millionaire has any notion of what it takes to live on $16,000/year is absurd
That's the difference between liberals and conservatives. Liberals will fight for these people to have health care even if they hate us for it. In the end, they will thanklessly use the health care we fought to get them, but it's ok. We should just be happy that they aren't going to die from preventable illness.
Jamaar DeBoise trump will fail them and this whole town will dissapear!!
I'm a 71 year old African American Army retiree and find it difficult to understand the degree of hatred that exist in America. The Antic Shop owner was a glaring example of that hatred even though it may have saved her life! Dr. Martin Luther King once said, "THE TWO MOST DANGEROUS THINGS IN THE WORLD ARE SINCERE IGNORANCE AND CONSCIENCIOUS STUPIDITY!" Senator McConnell said the very night President Obama was elected that he was going to make him a one term President and pledged to NOT WORK with him. I served under many Presidents and Officers in the Army and NEVER took my opposition to their leadership to that level of outright hatred! The insurance industry is all about profits in America and they don't want "AFFORDABLE HEALTHCARE"!! The Republicans know this and play silly little games with the most vulnerable and collect fat campaign checks while telling their constitutes a damn lie!
How can you not understand the division? Its worse than it ever was thanks to obama.

Trump explained his success during the campaign.
"I loves the poorly educated."
AKA Old people who didn't have access to degrees.
I'm a Kentuckian. I do not understand why people will willingly vote for someone who stated over and over and over that he was going to repeal a law that benefits you. What did they think "repeal" meant?
Mary Fields I really believe they think it'll up their status quo. As if saying ,"I'm a republican" will somehow make them less transparent. Complete ego trip paid for by hate and greed.
watch the video, they said they thought he wasn't gonna do it
Mary Fields because the other choice was a fraud and would have just done worse to our country than Obama did. I absolutely hate Obama care I had amazing insurance but thanks to Obama care My deductibles for family we to 3000 a month. I don't feel like it is my families place to pay for other people's insurance. So I pray it is repealed and replaced!
Healhcare should be a human right. The USA is the only developed nation that doesn't have universal healthcare.
