Everyoneโs mocking Trump over the 50-year home mortgages. Well, I just got a 25-year car loan for only $299 a month. Between that and my $2-a-gallon gas, Iโm saving a lot of money. ๐ฐ

You donโt go with the cheapest oncologist. You go to the best one when youโve just been diagnosed a month before you turn 30. Personal experience talking here.
Capitalism doesnโt work for healthcare and never did.
It was Romneycare, written by the Heritage Foundation, FFS, until the Dems wanted to make it a federal program. ๐๐๐ป

If I skip statistics, Iโll almost certainly bomb that test next week.
Iโm not even considering my oral communications test tomorrow as worthy of time expenditure.
Whose idea was it to go back to school at 54?๐ค
Very true. Itโs why they set up the ACA marketplace as a big group in the first place. Good lord. ๐ซ

So let me get this straightโฆ
Trump wants to give people money to buy individual insurance.
Who wants to tell him thatโs Obamacare?
What heโs describing is essentiallyโฆthe ACA marketplace. ๐
