Yesterday, I asked Americans to tell me what a DOUBLING of health care premiums would mean for their families.

Here are just a few of their responses:

I, sadly, don't have to imagine it. I'm 72, a mother & ex paediatric RN. I saw kids brain damaged or dead from Measles AND Mumps Encephalitis. Brain damaged or dead babies, too young to be vaxxed, who had brain haemorrhages from the force of whooping cough fits. Many children disabled from Polio.

The Polio Vaccine Was a Miracle—and We Must Not Forget It As a polio survivor, I am a dinosaur today. My great hope is that our country’s living memory of the disease ends with my generation.

"There was a boy who had been robbed of so many muscles that he could not sit up. Every day, his mother and our teacher hooked him into a sling and fastened him to his desk." Want that again?

Ossoff on RFK Jr: "Absolutely he should resign. And he never should've been confirmed to begin with... in any normal Senate, he never would've gotten so much as a hearing.

When they were little - 1 yr and 3 1/2 - my two older boys, who’d had all their shots, got whooping cough.

Hassan: Sometimes when you make an accusation, it’s kind of a confession

WARNER: Do you accept the fact that 1 million Americans died from covid?

RFK Jr: I don't know how many died

W: You're the secretary of health and human services. You don't have any idea how many Americans died from covid?

RFK Jr: I don't think anybody knows that

W: How can you be that ignorant?
