She voted for Trump. Now she fears losing the Obamacare plan that saved her life
She voted for Trump. Now she fears losing the Obamacare plan that saved her life
Kathy Watson was anxious about her health coverage even before she woke up gasping for breath last month and drove herself to the emergency room with a flare-up in her heart condition.
I’d say she can go fuck herself, but it seems she already has…
Millions of them did, and fucked the rest of us as well. Two birds, one vote.
The article was published in 2017.
Yeah, I haven't seen anything about the ACA lately, he gave up on trying to fuck that now I hope. I hate that people think "I want to pay less taxes" then someone says, we can put in a healthcare system that cuts your income taxes by 10% and gives everyone free healthcare and you no longer have co-pays and BS about figuring out of a $5000 deductable before coverage starts is even worth paying. And they say "No"
Well lobbyists told propaganda machine to tell me it's bad, so I'll stick with paying higher taxes and pray I'm healthy forever.
Watson is getting irritated by what she hears from the new president. “I’ll give it a little more time,” she said. “But I’m not really sure about Trump anymore.”
Girl, it's been 5 days since you gave him your vote. And when the time you'll "give" him is up, what then?
She said she’s ready to go to Washington to tell lawmakers not to roll back Obamacare.
You have absolutely no fucking clue what type of government you just helped elect.
That article is about the 2016 election, not this one.
He's not even the fucking president yet for fucks sake.
That article shows how stupid people can be. She says she voted for Trump hoping he wouldn't do what he said he was going to do! She struggled for many years and Obamacare was a big help for her and she voted against it!
she was hoping he would "hurt the people he needs to be hurting"
I'm done with calling these people stupid. they're just bad, hateful people who would rather see the world burn to the ground than see a fellow human enjoy any small benefit whatsoever.
I gave them the benefit of the doubt eight years ago – I learned my lesson – this time round they can go suck a chainsaw
People are so fucking strange
I have zero sympathy for her
To all Trump supporters:
You stupid bitch.
I've been seeing this picture around. What show is it from?
Thus is from 2017.
You think she learned her lesson and didn't help him get elected a second time? I admire your optimism, in the face of recent evidence to the contrary...
My bad. Hopefully we'll see a follow up where she has surely come to her senses.
making it less relevant?
I remember being actively scolded by Republican former friends as heartless and cruel for openly laughing at the Herman Cain Award winners.
This is just as funny.
Her mother states that 'she is smart, but didn't have the luck of the Irish.'
... The Irish are a notoriously un lucky people.
She tells people to imagine walking a mile in her shoes.
... From the sound of it, if she tried to walk a mile in her own shoes, her heart would fail and she would die.
She apparently counts as a 'business owner' because she hired 3 other people to work for her as a debt collector, when she herself is in massive debt... and she directed her 'firm' to work for a doctor so that she could recieve under the table (likely illegal) medical treatment from the doctor.
This story is so absolutely absurd I had to check whether or not it was posted in nottheonion.
The amount of ignorance and gullibility, lack of self awareness this woman, lack of any kind of social conscience or morality that this woman, who just seems to credulously support a widely known criminal fraudster and is now worried said criminal fraudster may defraud the nation's and thus her own healthcare.... this level of suicidal stupidity is so astounding that I would absolutely laugh in her face if she told me this story in person.
Its like a vindictave 8 year old in an obese elder woman's body.
She has no moral code, will do anything that benefits herself nonmatter how much harm it causes others, knows very little, and has the gall to throw a pity party when some of her actions lead to extremely obvious negative outcomes... for herself.
A just world would demand she suffers.
If she was a character in a children's fable, she would obviously be contemptible.
Given her childlike comprehension of the world, this is an apt frame of reference.
She expresses no self awareness nor sense of responsibility, thus she is literally comically inept and evil, by her own childish standards.
This woman is not an outlier. The grand majority of Trump voters fall in the same category, and oh boy, are they in for a rude awakening...
But as Trump himself said "you won't have to vote anymore" after these elections. Let's hope to God he was wrong - but I doubt it.
Oh, I don't think there will be a rude awakening. They'll never figure it out. It doesn't take 12 years to use your eyes, ears, and brain.
IDC as long as she manages to die somewhere convenient and out of my way. She made her choices and as a mentally sound adult she has earned the outcome.
We'll all end up paying for it with our newly unregulated healthcare premiums. Those of us lucky enough to have it at least.
"credits Obamacare with saving her life"
and now "pays nothing" for that insurance plan....
and yet.... "isn’t ready to renounce Trump."
nom. nom. nom. leopard's gonna get an extra helping here.
she wants "change"
lady.. you gonna get exactly that. in spades.
you literally saw his kind of 'changes' last time.. for four years you watched him fuck shit up. and during those same years and for years before and after, literally hate and try to hurt every not white straight male demographic that exists, constantly. hell, he even hit several subsets of the white straight males, too.
welcome to the hell you helped rebuild.
This community's gonna be really busy for at least the next four years.
I do not wish harm on this lady, but it seems that the registered voters in the USA need to experience the harm they're doing before they will wise up.
I'm sorry that so many Americans need to learn this lesson the hard way, and I'm especially sorry for those who are in this situation despite voting against it.
I'm not an American citizen, but I worry about you all.
... You do remember these are the same people that went unvaccinated and unmasked during COVID and took dewormer for a viral infection, right?
And many learned lessons from that, in the form of dead loved ones.
I used to think the same thing and there are people that change their minds. But for a lot of people in the trump cult if something doesn't work out well they will find a way to blame it on the libs. They are quite practiced in circular logic thanks to their religion.
What an absolute fucking moron
I'm not going to say good like everyone else, because there were plenty of people who voted for Harris who are also now in this situation and this will kill them through no fault of their own.
I predict this will be the most active community on Lemmy over the next 4 years.
Leopards sat on my face
Well, someone’s in for a rough awakening
Oh I don't think so. She's never going to learn. How do you accept that you accelerated your own death? Better to think about something else.
Welcome to the consequences of your actions 🤷
Someone find her obituary
"I didn't think it would hurt me!"
“Kathy is a smart person, but she sure didn’t have the luck of the Irish,” said Anne Lebrecht, Watson’s 74-year-old mother.
No... I don't think so, she is neither smart nor lucky. Quite the opposite. She is an idiot and got dealt a bad hand. But she voted for that. So I guess she gets what she deserves. Apparently In her mind nothing of value was lost so far.
Oh well...what they gonna do, idiots do idiot things. And will pay the price for being THOSE idiots.
The problem is that the rest of us suffer along with them.
"In 2003, Watson opened a debt-collection service for small companies." Lovely...
I see that was from 2017. Hopefully, the COPD or liver disease got her.
Your fault dipshit.
In other news, Florida woman still isn't ready to renounce Trump but was found dead of stupidity, which even Obamacare didn't cover. Thanks Obama.
YOU. STUPID. BITCH.
Just one of the first of many face-eating leopards, I'm afraid.
Good.
We told you so.
I hope you get what you voted for.
I have no idea about the credibility of that news site (not American) but if I wanted to construct ragebait targeted at the left that's exactly the kind of story I'd publish. The comments here show great engagement.
It's the LA Times, a highly credible publication. In any case, no need to fabricate when reality supplies ample material.
She should not expect sympathy. I can't even find pity. All I have is mocking condescension and schadenfreude. Hopefully she has the decency to die before the next election.
Welp, enjoy the time you have, lady.
