This was NOT a problem in the past. Now that the evil republicans are going wild everything is going BAD. Peoples health is what republicans love to affect. These hateful people try to harm others because they are demonic. Only when these SATANIC people are out of government will GOOD things again happen to the public like health insurance, better wages, no wars, etc.
