        To get us out of the Depression, FDR’s New Deal created a safety net for Americans & got people working again. In 2020, 1 in 4 Americans will be out of work. By pulling the rug out, Trump is creating a reverse new deal, taking away our safety net as we loss employment.2/

        Last week Trump doubled down on a meritless Supreme Court case to nullify the ACA due to be heard this Fall. If successful, it would end health care coverage for 20 million more ppl & pre-existing condition protection would disappear for all.3/https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.usatoday.com/amp/2330158002 …

        It would also raise drug costs on millions of seniors, allow lifetime limits, end Medicaid expansion, raise prices on older people & people with pre-existing conditions, end out of pocket cost limits, end the public health & prevention fund & end required preventive benefits.4/pic.twitter.com/x8IrziWHoE

        There is plenty of rhetoric that aims to divide the country right now. Most of it doesn’t amount to much. Some of it does but are natural tensions. Taking health care away in a pandemic rises to a special level. 23/
