        And this shit is going to be no more different. If Trump is going to expect people to pay 100k for visas, he’s going to expect Americans to pay 50k for a shot of insulin or 300 for acetaminophen. Something.

      It’s the ACA. “ObamaCare” was created as a nickname by Republicans to outrage their base. I don’t know if this post is supposed to have a /s, but if not, you fell for the propaganda, homie.
