Only, from what I've been reading and hearing, particularly Dean Baker's
article and interview on The Real News Network, Trump can , as Baker puts it,
"murder" The Affordable Care Act, by not funding key portions and by being sure
that the state exchanges fail by keeping the public uninformed and misinformed.
And the ACA does have problems that, everyone agrees, need to be addressed,
and that our Republican brethren certainly will not address.

There are some friends in congress. Here in Washington State, we are fortunate
to have two "Real People" in the Senate, Murray and Cantwell. Still, we keep
up nights blowing our horns and spreading the word. If this government is
going to become our government, we will need to take it. The Oligarchy will
not hand it down to us.
They love their life...a life we can only watch on old TV movies.

You who made calls.
You who marched.
You who shared your story.
You who would not be silent.
You stopped the latest Republican attempt to dismantle our health care. This
victory is your victory, and I'm glad you're with us, Carl.
But while last night's win was a big win--thanks to 48 Democrats, 3 courageous
Republicans, and you--we must stay alert.
The GOP has been undermining our health care for years. Donald Trump has made
clear that he wants an insurance crisis while he sabotages the Affordable Care
Act.
I'm going to keep fighting to improve our health care by making it more
accessible and affordable through single payer--and keep standing strong
against every effort to take us backward. Are you with me, Carl?
Onward!
Jeff----
