My daughter just had to get a DNA test to analyze her possibly of cancer in her family line. She is 30, we lost her mom to cancer when she was 10. The bill for the DNA test was $6,800 dollars. Because she can afford health care through the ACA while bar tending to get her college degree in nursing, she had to pay $9.00. That is "Nine" dollars. And trumps DOJ now in court to destroy the entire bill. MAGA? Trump has a plan, greater, cheaper blah blah blah. 2.5 years ago he claimed that plan we be published next week. Next week 2.5 years ago. GOP health care coming to you.

Frankly, $1000 would already be criminal if it were the whole bill, let alone your portion
