During Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, one of the promises he made was better and cheaper health care for all. This is the one promise he seems to have forgotten, and instead has done all he can to gut the Affordable Care Act. This is also the one promise that probably made him an attractive candidate to others besides the xenophobic and racist people who make up his base.
He has kept his promises to all of the billionaires and millionaires who are his friends by cutting taxes and gutting regulations that keep the rest of us and the environment safe. But what about those of us who cannot afford decent health care and therefore don’t receive it? Better and cheaper health care for all is something the majority of U.S. citizens would support. Most people do not support the wall. Forget “Build the wall,” and give us better and cheaper health care for all.

Note from KBJ: It’s always good politics to call the people whose votes you’re seeking “xenophobes” and “racists.”
