As in the song "Lawyers In Love" we have a land, a nation with too many in high places willing to do anything for money neglecting people, honor and principle but a change is coming. No more falling for the lie of living only individualistic and independent lives leaving us divided and conquerable by powerful special interests but a people, a nation collaborating for the greater common good in various groups all across the nation. A land of people working together to help one another with a vision moreover as Jesus would have us be. Love, Mercy, Forgiveness, Kindness....something about another Land. The change is coming

What Trump And The Republicans Want For Obamacare Is Not What The American People Want

72 percent of adults said lawmakers should keep financial help for lower-income peopleMcClatchy-Marist poll.
Republicans will increase insurance costs for working families and decrease help for lower-income people.

80 percent favor the law’s subsidies for those with lower and middle incomes Kaiser Foundation poll.
Republicans want to eliminate subsidies and replace with tax credits.

66 percent support expanding Medicaid to more low-income, uninsured adultsAP-NORC poll.
Republicans want to freeze and eventually eliminate the expansion.

63 percent preferred maintaining federally guaranteed benefits - Kaiser Family Foundation poll.
Republicans want to cap the amount of federal Medicaid funding a state receives per person.

53 percent in the AP-NORC poll and 69 percent in the Kaiser Foundation poll favor increasing taxes on wealthy to fund medicaid.
Republicans want to eliminate the A.C.A. tax on the wealthy that helps fund medicaid.

A clear majority of Americans oppose the changes to Obamacare that effect the poor and low-income and a landslide majority favor the subsidies of which Trump and the Republicans want to eliminate.
The changes that the Republicans want will return us to the way it was before Obamacare when working families paid more for insurance and millions could not afford coverage. Essentially it's back to the George W. Bush days of which Trump is emulating before your eyes.

The American people clearly do not want what Trump and the Republicans want but what are the Republicans going to do? Ignore the will of the people and do what they want in order to please the wealthy and powerful of whom they so very much depend for political life. 
You doubt it? The Republicans oppose at every turn cutting back on campaign money that buys off congressmen most fully expressed in the Citizen's United(screwed) law. At every turn? At every turn.

You are essentially existing now in an oligarchy, a plutocracy, a corporatocracy meaning a nation that passes laws only according to the will of the wealthy. You doubt it? >>
