I can only thinks of swear words in response.

Could congress block his intentions? Does Trump have any plans to replace Obamacare to help those in need of financial support with their health? This is devastating news.

In Australia one of our major parties always seems to want to make healthcare less funded, thus longer waiting lines in public system which is almost free. Luckily we have a decent private health insurance. For example I pay $160 a month and all my IP stays for mental health are fully covered except for a few meds. Other types of private treatment can have big out of pockets, like cancer treatment and some surgeries but generally it works.

Wish your government would at least catch on that it is less expensive to treat people with mental illness than to leave them untreated and then society suffers the consequences of that. more than that I wish your government would actually care about those suffering and their families and friends.

how will this effect you?
