While most of the country is now distracted by the circus surrounding our president and the former head of the FBI, look at what is going on behind the scenes.
Dodd-Frank has been repealed and now the Senate is attempting to amend health care legislation without public comment or committee hearings.
Want to know what this will cost you? Go to the Kaiser Family Foundation website (kff.org) and look at the interactive map for La Plata County comparing the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) to the American Health Care Act (Trumpcare).
I’m over 55. According to the map, my healthcare will increase by $10,000, or 197 percent. Let’s say they are wrong and it only increases by half that. Healthcare is still the biggest expense I have and, with an increase, will officially be more than my house payment.
Unfortunately, other sources echo the Kaiser findings.
Please take the time to write Senators Gardner and Bennet and let them know that this is not acceptable.
