It is time for the Democrats to STOP the resistance to the President and all of his efforts to turn things around and change the way Washington D.C. does business. Elected representatives need to understand that they are elected to represent their constituents not themselves or their parties agenda to disrupt everything in their quest to oust the president without any proof or legal grounds, because thy cannot believe that the lying criminal candidate they put forth lost the election for them through all of her underhanded dealings with anything that she touched. I'm 74 years old and a veteran and am so embarrassed at what American Politics has become though Democrats not doing their elected duties to the liberal medial bashing and printing fake news, it is time to stop the insanity and get busy for AMERICA.REPORT COMMENTS

Americans are not all alike: we come in a variety of sizes, shapes, colors. We also have different needs and different values. ONE SIZE FITS ALL DOES NOT WORK! We don't want a health care system: we want to be able to chose the kind of care that fits our needs, whether that means we buy medical insurance to cover medical costs or whether we establish health care savings accounts; or whether we focus on living a healthy lifestyle so we remain healthy and pay any necessary bills as they occur. Variety is what made America great! Mandated health care stifles innovation and discourages responsibility and self-discipline. We can't afford more of that kind of human failure.REPORT COMMENTS

I cannot lean on nobody because I live alone, but I am denied to rent an apartment in a affordable building for an affordable price. Whoever is calculating the limits of poverty they are approaching the issue in a very wrong way. The ranges of affordability they have in housing make impossible for me to qualify and get one apartment in a decent area. I live from check to check and have to pay more than 70% of my salary for this apartment I am living in. I cannot afford health insurance either, then, the government penalizes me for this lack of health insurance. For years I haven't taken vacations because it is impossible for me to save money for that purposes. In addition to that, I pay lot of money every year in taxes, but I do no have the right of getting back any revenue. I cannot have the luxury to get sick if that should eventually happened. But, who cares? It is a blessing for me to keep working, but still I cannot skip a single day from work under no circumstances since I do not have PTO (personal leave hours) because I do not have a full time job; I apply all the openings they post in my department but I am too old to be considered; nevertheless, they hire new full time employees in front of m eyes, new hires with no experience to whom I am have to train. Do not get me wrong here, I train them with love, but I get kind of disappointed when these young fellow co-workers of me stay only for a while; once they get experience in 1 or 2 years they leave their positions for more money out there. I keep applying every time all openings in my workplace, but consistently I am not selected. The other side of the coin is this, the full timers often call sick with a very short notice, normally 2 hours before their schedule begins; they can do it because they accumulate PTO, I am the one who stay there every day because if I do not come to work one day, I got no paid. So, my life goes with no vacations, no affordable housing for me, no health insurance, pay a lot in taxes, no full time job. I know there is a lot of people in same situation than me, but still is NOT fair, we work hard. Therefore, I am asking you ladies and gentlemen of the Congress, REPEAL OBAMACARE, do something to improve the conditions in our work place, make housing really affordable and beauty for we the middle class, since we are like invisible people with no rights. We are no poor and we are not rich either; we are the invisible zone in America. We struggle, we suffer, but who cares? Thank you.REPORT COMMENTS

We have to strart someplace, for the middle class I see a need to foster self pay for insurance with stepping stone type help, that will be temporary for most. The Insurance carrier can accept Gov wavers, or approved procedures for a yearlong treatment. They need confidence in caring for their own. All 1-3 years.

Obamacare was forced on us. Our premiums rose and we were allowed one preventative visit yearly. Our deductible went up to $4,000 per person and our sons were fined for not earning enough to purchase insurance. Americans deserve better, so please get out of the medical field and let our doctors give us the care we are paying for. Stand with our President, he's working for us and you should be doing the same!REPORT COMMENTS

Do either of you have any recollection of a free market? A truly free health insurance market along with a great reduction in government interference would improve health care costs and availability.

Get rid of welfare fraud, illegal alien "benefits", Medicaid and Medicare fraud, and we can all enjoy affordable healthcare! Plus make insurance competitive..sell across state lines. Also, why not have "healthcare vans" visit poor neighborhoods, especially out in rural areas to provide care, and health care centers in places like Walmart for people . It would be a lot cheaper than doctors offices, and it would be more convenient.REPORT COMMENTS

Of course Obama care needs repealed and replaced, Obama had absolutely NO INTENTION of it doing anyone any good. He planned for it to fail, just not as quickly as it started to. Destroying the USA was the floor plan of his entire presidency. He knew the racist liberals would do all in their power to cover it up for him because they're terrified of being called racist. Liberals are the biggest offenders. There needs to be term limits and the swamp needs drained, starting with Ryan and McCain.REPORT COMMENTS
