That’s true for many Americans, as rising healthcare costs leave more families with a sinking feeling after seeing the bill for surgery or medication. Heading into the Nov. 3 midterm elections, about half of registered voters said healthcare costs are a major problem for them and their families, up from a little more than one-third four years ago, according to a Fox News poll from September.

With party control of Congress at stake, registered voters are nearly twice as likely to say they trust Democrats over Republicans to handle healthcare, according to an Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll from the same month. Those frustrations, combined with broader concerns over rising prices, have sapped support for President Donald Trump and his Republican Party.

    At least the cancer believes in affordability even if Trump doesn’t.

    Conservative victims and desire to destroy everything has led to an increase in everything awful.

    I stopped feeling bad for these morons a while ago.

    They vote against our collective interests and then get platformed when it bites them in the ass.

    Isn’t this “god’s judgment” that these weirdos are forever bleating about?

    It saddens me that I can’t bring myself to feel bad for her. Three fucking times she voted for this shit. Three. It’s mind-numbing and I hate it.

    She voted for Trump in 2016, and his first four years seemed steady, so she voted for him again in 2020.

    Yup, COVID was real steady

      That line stood out to me too, letting my know this lady is completely full of shit. No one lived through 2020 and called it “steady”. She voted for other people’s suffering and is trying to claim it was about anything but.

    Used to have sympathy for the rubes who voted for this, but not anymore. Their ignorance has done more to undo this country than my worst predictions.

    Time and time again conservative voters prove they have absolutely zero empathy or concern until they are personally affected by something.

    Fuck her, she got exactly what she voted for.

      And been aware of the actual facts of abortion, not what she was fed by the right to keep her voting for them.

    She has repeatedly voted so that only the wealthy get full cancer care. Do you know how many people give up on proven treatment because of finances? Hope you enjoy the bills you vored for, bitch.

    They’re always OK with other people not having healthcare but they’ll squeal like stuck pigs if it’s taken away from them.
