Now... I pay around $600 per month and have no dental. My copay to the hospital is $100 and then I have to pay my deductible of $1500 then insurance kicks in at 80/20. Starting January 1st Aetna will no longer cover me and I need to find another plan. From recent reports my healthcare, in PA, will go up at least 30% more. So now i'm close to $800/month and likely a 3K deductible and copays likely $100+.
These are real issues with me... forget Hillary is a corrupt cunt and sells 20% uranium to the Russians to line her own pockets. I'm going to give 10% of my fucking income to healthcare... which I rarely use!

I'm glad you posted this because it explains your perspective much more clearly than the hate filled shit you are normally posting. I also agree with you, that is horrible. We are lucky enough in this country that we are not stuck holding the bills on regular healthcare (aside from being heavily taxed to pay for it long term). That being said, Hilary may have pushed for it in the past, but it was obama who implemented this current plan, not her. On top of that Trump may be saying he's going to go in there and rescind ALL of it and restore things as they were but he can't. It will get rejected and his requests will never pass. He, or any candidate will not be able to take things back on this issue going forward, the time for that is over. The ONLY thing that can be done to help things is to amend it so families like yours do not have to suffer such costs out of pocket. Honestly, i don't think either candidate has a plan that will fix that, definitely not in 4 years. The solution will not be fixed with any election, only through time and work towards progress will get you there.
And as to why us canadians are speaking up on your elections? because we care what happens to you guys, we have been allies for over 100 years now. Although not all of us are sensible about it, i'll give you that.
