John Fetterman survived a stroke in 2022, which would be considered a pre existing condition.
He has a defibrillator for vfib, which can cost $34,000 to over $51,000.
He was one of 8 Dems who voted to gut the ACA and reopen the government.
He doesn’t have to worry, he has healthcare for life

President Trump’s move to drop tariffs on groceries such as coffee, beef, bananas, and tomatoes — contradicting his claims that the levies weren’t raising prices — shows he is on the defensive over his signature policy initiative.
Trump goes on defense over tariffs as prices on everyday items keep rising
The rollback of import taxes on coffee, bananas and many other foods is the latest sign that the administration could be forced to shift course.
