Legislation by Anecdote . . . it's all about pulling at the heartstrings! It comes as easily to Democrats as breathing while conservatives a loath to do it. Let pull Obama's legacy down with an endless parade of shattered dreams and ruined lives in the Visitors Gallery of the House of Representatives with every State of Union Address.

Sadly, women are especially vulnerable to this. For too many, you show them one sob story and facts/reason just go out the window.

Dumbocare is dropping my sister and her husband who has MD. Also my friend Debbie who has her own health issues.

Then they cut off Granny’s Pain meds for diseases that have no cures or even treatments. Treat you like a street junkie.

We need President Trump to tweet by anecdote too. Let’s hear about the people who have “coverage” under Obamacare, but it’s so expensive that it hurts them and so difficult to use that they cannot see a real doctor. Let’s hear about the people who would rather pay the fine and then pay for their own care instead of paying for a policy with huge deductibles and crippling copayments.

Anecdotes go both ways, and President Trump needs a staffer whose only job is to find (and CAREFULLY research!) one or two excellent tweets per day on individuals being harmed by Obamacare and one or two per day on individuals being harmed by illegals. Ignore the MSM, and go straight to the people with anecdotes that can tip or at least balance the “narrative”.

Meet me. I eat right, exercise and don't smoke or drink. I get the privilege of paying $16,000 a year in premiums for a Obamacare plan that has a $5000 deductible for both my wife and me. That's $5000 each.

Since we are responsible adults, the insurance company never has to pay out anything. So basically we are paying $26,000 a year for catastrophic care insurance.

Thanks Obama.
