        And take away the mortgage interest deduction as well. Bankrupt people, they buy up the foreclosures, turn us into a nation of renters paying them to survive. Take away medical care and kill the sick. Throw everyone of color out of the country. It's their plan folks.

        I'm sorry. It's hard when we have elderly to care for and we aren't rich. Take care of yourself, mentally and physically it's exhausting. Prayers for you.

        But it will all work out in the wash right? President Trump promised better health care, for less. He wouldn't lie, would he?

        Ending this deduction will devastate my father in assisted living. Once this bankrupts him, he will be forced to move to a (much more expensive) nursing home at Medicaid's expense. Inhumane.

        I’m going to start paying 9K/mo. for my husband’s nursing home care. I thought at least we’d get the deduction!

        I need it too! I have a disabled daughter and don’t qualify for Medicaid or disability SSI! It’s shocking that they would take away from the most vulnerable!
