6. I have great insurance or so I thought until my husband suffered a massive stroke 3 years ago.

21 days in the hospital. We ended up with a 270,000 medical bill. WITH my so called great insurance out of network costs. People who think their insurance is so awesome have never suffered a catastrophic health crisis. We have rationalized all of the things corporate America was doing as necessary or whatever. I certainly hope we can rid ourselves of trump. I hope I am alive to see it.
