My buddy who is an old uneducated white deplorable like me lost his insurance a few years ago. For some reason the $1800 dollar premiums with the 10k deductible wasn’t all that affordable.

I have a guy in the same building where my business is located. He is about 60, and a die-hard Trump supporter. He was complaining last week that his premiums are now $1,200 per month, his annual deductible is $8,000, and he now pays $150/month in copays for his prescriptions.

All told, he's out of pocket almost $25,000 per year ... and he's complaining about it loudly.

I happen to know he has a chronic medical condition, so I asked him how much his recurring annual medical expenses have been for the last few years.

His answer: "About $55,000."

So there's your problem in a nutshell. A strong conservative and die-hard Trump supporter is actually b!tching that he has to pay $25,000 to get $55,000 worth of medical care.

THIS IS WHY OBAMACARE WILL NEVER BE REPEALED.

P.S. — $1,800 in premiums (I assume that’s a MONTHLY premium) and a $10,000 annual deductible means your friend is paying more than $31,000 every year in medical costs before he gets a single dollar in coverage paid by the insurance company.
