Im pro medicare for all, but im anti aca. The ACA raised my health insurance massively. I paid 6k a year in 2012, and now i pay 36k a year.

Forcing everyone to pay into for profit health insurance doubled healthcare in a few years.

The average health insurance cost per person should not be 18k a year, no one should be paying 36k a year like i do.

My point is I really doubt he ran on a pro-healthcare pro-daycare platform. I could be wrong, but I would be shocked to learn otherwise.

He made statements that we’d have the money to pay for things if we didn’t go to war.

So to now say that we can’t pay for something because of war is in direct contrast.

I don't think trump ran on pre healthcare or prodaycare either, and I'm pretty sure Republicans are anti paying for that stuff in general.

How much did you pay in 2015 though?

How much of your increased payment is because of Trump et al?
