11. His latest "plan" will lead to more uninsured
Sun Jun 28, 2026, 07:28 AM
Yesterday

I am currently under COBRA.
I live in the a state with a blue governor but a red legislature.
The legislature refuses to plug in the gap like some blue legislatures are doing.
In about 7 months, I am eligible for Medicare.

I am a lymphoma survivor since 1990.
I am in my third remission but require maintenance treatments every 3 weeks.
Cumulatively,. they cost about $1million/year.
The idea that I will go try to get health insurance directly and tell them you will be paying that is a non-starter.
BTW, my cancer center gives them a discount; so it about half that.

Trump does not understand the complexities of cancer care in this country.
He is so incredibly stupid or he is a sociopath and likes people to suffer.
