Yes I am saying Republicans through their greed are a bigger threat to Americans than ISIS, that is exactly what I am saying word for word, in case there is any confusion there. If you pay attention to their words closely when they are asked about pre-existing conditions and repealing Obamacare, you will notice they say slip in things about "continued" coverage being available in what it gets replaced with. You can see Tom Cotton do it today:

And you can see Ted Cruz do it to Bernie Sanders and get called out for it in their debate.

I don't recall the minute/second but it's in the debate if you watch it. They are trying to say things also like pre-existing conditions was a part of Obamacare they will keep (Trump says this) but the exact language they sneak in is actually reverting it to how it was before Obamacare existed. Before it existed, if you had a pre-existing condition you couldn't get kicked off for it, but you also couldn't buy insurance if you lost your coverage due to a lapse or losing a job.
Before anyone mentions Cobra, if you've ever left a job and gotten the Cobra letter, you know damn well only the most rich people in the world could afford it. Also their tax break argument is just as laughable - anyone poor won't benefit from tax breaks, they don't make enough money to where it will affect them. Millions of people with pre-existing conditions will absolutely die from this repeal, either from having a terminal illness not being treated or something like diabetes where they won't be able to afford medicine and later die from complications. A whole lot more than ISIS's pathetic little bullets. If you voted for Trump congrats you're a fucking murderer.
