As a very senior, a widow and without funds,. I guess I'll die.
Without Medicare and S S, I am lost. Maybe I'll just forget about the fact that I worked all my life and expected things to be different. How naive am I?

Best of luck to those for whom this is not an issue. Keep enjoying your Filet Mignon while millions of us have nothing.
Can you tell how much I hate trump and his minions? Hope he chokes on his next burger.
Damn!
