I know he's recruited a bunch of moral-less greedy monkeys for his government (a young Earth creationist for education - Puh-lease! - you guys will be in Middle Ages by the time he's done with you in 4 years!) - I've been keeping an eye on the orange fart closely. I think in the end, it will be his own communication that buries him eventually (I just hope he doesn't take millions of people with him by starting a war or something).
I thought some major changes already took place, when a friend of mine posted this on his timeline a couple of days ago (but it's possible that I misunderstood and none of the changes have taken place as of now):
"In Case You Missed It The Senate voted 51 to 48: 1. To end coverage for preexisting conditions, veterans benefits, and aid to rural hospitals. 2. To remove discrimination protection for women in healthcare. 3. Against the provision allowing children to remain on their parent's insurance till the age of 26. 4. To cut off funding for the Child Health Insurance Program (CHIP). 5. Against ACA contraceptive coverage and maternity care provision. 6. To direct committees to send budget legislation to defund and repeal the Affordable Care Act. For those who get health insurance through work, no pre-existing conditions. Lifetime caps for coverage are back for everyone. Real and disastrous actions are being taken that will affect more than just the 20-30 million people who will lose their health care coverage and the 3 million people who will lose their jobs. Despite their assertions of this being an action to "repeal and replace," no viable alternative plan has been proposed. The House votes Friday. As of this moment, no replacement exists."
Anyway - I know you will all be affected - if not afflicted - as a nation, I just hope that you, personally, don't really feel the brunt of the changes. Stay healthy, and informed, that's probably the one advice that might come in useful! :)
Yuppee for the 100 words (and perhaps more) - I'll take anything I can have at this point - I'm not picky at all! :D
