How Kentucky voters feel about Trump's health care battle now

Some Kentuckians insured under the Affordable Care Act share fears and hopes for the future as House GOP leaders try to negotiate a new health care bill.

[@deebunny178]

Why would you want to support bringing back jobs that will kill you, rather than finding new ways to create new jobs? These people are crazy.

[@lavinder11]

Queen Daxylew Tradition. For them, these coal jobs are part of their family identity. They want it to remain that way even though it's killing them. So way big, black Obama starts a 'war on coal,' not only is he taking away their livelihood but he's taking away their identity.

[@lavinder11]

pema lhatse You're one to talk.

[@deebunny178]

lavinder11 Well even though they are dying by coal doesn't mean the rest of us want to. The use of coal and fossil fuels is killing our planet. And I'm sorry, if coal is a part of your identity but it caused you and your family a painful death, you should look into a new career. Supporting this way of thinking isn't healthy either.

[@horsepanther]

@lavinder11 I think you're onto something. I have been baffled by them but I think you got it right.

[@brentb4162]

Thankfully I don't have to live under the US healthcare system but I do feel pity for all the sick people who weren't taken in by Trump but are going lose their coverage because of these gullible, poorly informed and xenophobic people. That she thinks the coal industries decline is not due to automation and cheaper alternative power but is down to 'Obama's had a war on coal' and that Trump is now going to bring coal jobs back, the very work that has made her husband ill is beyond retarded but it shows right-wing propaganda works.

*Racism manifests through BEING UNEDUCATED, thats why Trump is an ILLITERATE RACIST DUMBASS!!*

[@tatianalee749]

Trump is desperate. He’s already working on privatizing the post office and despite saying he wouldn’t cut social security or Medicare, cuts to both programs are in his budget. And when did a President “saying what’s on his mind “ become a virtue? You want a president that speaks the TRUTH and does what what he says, not a pathological liar. And to show you how ignorant these people are she is complaining that the only thing Obama did for them was to literally save her husband’s life. I can’t think of anything better than that. If Trump would have gotten his way, her husband would be dead. And she wants MORE coal jobs even though she sees what it did to him. Every breath is a struggle for him. He will die prematurely because of those coal mines yet she has no concerns about sacrificing others who will suffer the same fate. The decline of coal has accelerated since Trump took office and more companies have shut down. It is a dying industry and the handwriting has been on the wall for some time. Trump mades promises to those people he couldn’t keep. So him saying “what’s on his mind” hasn’t seem to benefited her at all, but she’s sure to vote for him again for some of that “hope.” Next year he might be successful in ending Obamacare.

+arogthergroit Yes, the reality is that I don't care so much for these people. I actually think the world will be a better place when they no longer exist (judge me as you will). However, I do feel for people like yourself, who knew what Trump was all about, and voted accordingly, only to have these morons thrust upon you what you always knew would happen if Trump was elected. And then to not even have the guts to admit you were wrong and that, not only your husband will probably die, but countless thousands of others because of THEIR stupid pride and ignorance. I feel for you deeply, and hope that Congress vote down the Trump Administration's 'amendments', or perhaps 'reductions' is a more of an appropriate description.

Coal is over and out, and why they prefer dirty jobs that kill them in their 40s over clean jobs in the booming solar industry ... I just don't know. Their hatred for the black president is something they cling to like a life raft.

[@theresawilliams3650]

Watch what you wish for, you have black lung disease, and you want more cole jobs, WTF

[@johnthom2910]

If I might interject a view from the outside. Yes coal mining is a dangerous job. I had an uncle who died of black lung. But don't call good people idiots because they're doing the only job they can. Since time began people earned their living doing jobs that shortened their lives, or at least put them in danger. But with the other options being destitution and starvation, what are they to do? My mother's side of the family comes from a coal mining town. We lost 26 coal miners in 1992. It's no longer an industry here, thank God, but the area suffers economically. And while its easy to say they should move or get another job, it rarely is. Not every coal miner will get black lung or die in a collapse. But it is the risk they take, just as a soldier risks death on the battlefield, and a firefighter risks burning alive. My experience has showed me that most coal miners would take another, less dangerous job, and those who do it do it because it's their heritage, it's what they know, and it's where they live. But don't call them idiots.

[@puremartian87]

[@Palmieres]

Tom Jensen I just watched a video that explains this: the difference in the US pharma industry compared to the rest of the world is that their legislation doesn't demand a cap for prices of treatment drugs or exams. Unlike Europe, Australia or Canada, for example, the American law allows pharmaceutical companies to set their own price. You would expect the competition made the prices go down, but instead they keep going up, since lowering prices to real production costs in such a market would mean losing money. If all American pharma determines the cost of drugs should be within a certain interval, and they all agree, the prices remain high. That's what happens without regulation. America loves it that the Government stays out of their business, but that sort of behaviour results in economic bubbles, which end up bursting into disasters like the 2008 crisis. I'll take my good old European socialized medical care any day, thank you very much.

bbookzable - Yeah, that's the reality of it, these people are extremely uneducated. And instead of sitting around lamenting the fact that the coal jobs are gone (which had nothing to do with Obama), perhaps they could have been proactive and upskilled in something else so that the loss of the coal jobs would simply mean they could move into a new industry. I'm not talking anything amazing, but get a forklift licence or truck-driver's licence. There's any number of things these people could do to improve their situation, but the one thing they can't improve? The loss of their healthcare coverage...the most important thing of all. Regardless, I agree with you these uneducated people are beyond saving and WILL die as a result of their lack of education and pig-pigheadedness.

The failing coal industry they cite as the reason for hating Obama is the very thing that caused her husbands Black Lung Disease.

that lady said I voted for Trump because I thought he would make Obamacare better not repeal it even tho Trump literally said he would repeal Obamacare every chance he got.

[@abedied1]

Well, we all know Trump's a liar.

[@DakotaFord592]

Stupidity

[@dessean1]

Exactly. She voted for Trump because he was white & not because she believed he was going to make Obama care better. Even when white people are dying they still chose to 'go out' lying.

[@cynthiamaxie6401]

They're just stupid. Trump ran on repeal and replace Obamacare, which it is really called ACA. But because it had Obama's name attached to it they voted for Trump. All because of their hatred for Obama. They deserve everything they get.

[@JuanGonzalez-gi6jt]

Maybe she doesn't know the definition of repeal. The word DOES sound like "repeat" .. (two of). Maybe she thought that "Bankrupt " trump was gonna make obamacare TWICE as better. Haha

[@foamfingermaker]

They want health care but Vote for Someone who wants to repeal it solely on the hope hope of bringing back jobs that created some of their biggest health problems. Not to mention Trump has dismantled entirely any The EPA protections that would prevent industries from creating further health risk to humans or harming the environment. Maybe the people who profited from these people and placed them at risk and endangered their lives should should shoulder the responsibility of making the health care more affordable. 1 step forward 3 steps back. How is this making America great?

[@carmay3600]

I feel so sorry for these people. But why did they vote for Trump. He did not say that he would fix Obamacare. He said that he would repeal it. Sigh

[@zico739]

carmay3600 Because racism, xenophobia, anti-intellectualism (can't accept climate change as real and human-driven), religious fundamentalism, and classism. The last one makes even less sense since most of these people don't have much in the bank.

You know it isn't the idea of healthcare it is the idea it has the OBAMA name on it and trump is trying to erase OBAMA from history. He is so jealous of OBAMA that he can't sleep at night. OBAMA had better grades than trump in college, OBAMA has a loving wife and trump doesn't. OBAMA has a much better body and is better looking then trump. Bottom line OBAMA is more of a level headed mature minded decent man then the goof trump.

Really sad so many people are so badly educated. But easy for me to say, as I live in a country where healthcare is practically free. We pay $250 a year, after the age of 18 when we need it, and free for all children, and starte of art hospitals and medicine! But hey, that is what democracy and socialism looks like in Scandinavia!
