5. Putting Americans at risk
Sun Dec 1, 2024, 05:26 PM
Dec 2024

I have a family member who is MAGA and anti-vaxxer.
I am the only family member that gets at least one COVID vaccine every year.

I am a lymphoma survivor (diagnosed in 1990) and am in my third remission.
Currently, I am undergoing maintenance treatments that cost about $1 million/year.
ACA protects me against lifetime limits.
Hopefully, Trump will be unable to repeal the ACA because the GOP margin in House is small.

I told this family member a Trump presidency would put my health at risk.
I told them that I may not survive a Trump presidency.
They were dismissive and repeating Vance's lies about Trump and ACA.
