Trump's insane tariffs on things the US cannot produce increased costs & were born by US citizens. Now Trump reducing cost by eliminating the tariffs HE PUT IN PLACE? And, his idiotic tariff 'check' idea is to give the American public back the money THEY PAID in higher cost of goods. THIS IS INSANE
Trump: “Tariffs protect you!”
Also Trump (a few months later): “We’re cutting tariffs to help with the cost of living!”
Economists: “So… you admit it?”
Trump: nervous coughing noises

Trump, the Con Man in Chief, is calling the affordability crisis a “con job by Democrats”.
Here’s the problem: everyone feels it. He’s telling people to ignore their own lived experience. If you voted for Trump to bring down costs, you cannot pretend this is not happening.

How much money is he going to "give" someone to purchase insurance with?
$12,000 for single?
$24,000 for a family?
That's without the rates going up. If you're only going to give people one month payment, who's going to pay for the next 11 months.

Everyone needs to REFRESH and REPEAT to others the critical provisions of he ACA that are protecting EVERY AMERICAN right now, regardless of waht policy you have. No discrimination for pre-existing conditions, lifetime/annual caps; no recessions; no denying maternity care. Preventive care required.
