Here’s the thing about healthcare premiums about to skyrocket: they will never come back down, short of a complete overhaul of our system for universal healthcare. Which clearly won’t happen bc of all the money tied up between health and politics.

Trump in the last two weeks:

-Holds press conference to say Tylenol causes autism
-Shuts down the government
-Sends troops from red states to blue states
He must have done some really bad stuff that got put into the Epstein files.
