It is unfortunate that healthcare is political.

The DNC event is coming here to Chicago in August, and there are already groups requesting permits so they can lead demonstrations. It's going to be an interesting summer here.

If you want an example of how much healthcare can be turned upside down, the repeal of Roe v Wade is a good example.

Women's reproductive healthcare is now a mess, with Arizona (my State) reviving a territorial law from the 1800s which flat out denies the procedure except for the imminent death of the mother.

With each State deciding women's reproductive healthcare for itself, there is no continuity of care. Imagine if your State got to decide how it was going to treat HIV care, based on the politics of the moment in that State. Insanity for healthcare!

I doubt that my healthcare would be in jeopardy, because I fortunately do not depend on a government program. Strangely, many who count on assistance, support those who would like to cut or end assistance. I do have many other concerns. It’s a very divisive time here.
