It is hard to believe but some members of congress think that people who lead bad lives have pre-existing conditions. Therefore they should pay more for insurance. That is why the new version of Trump care has a very sneaky way of reinforcing this. All people will be covered, but.  If you have a pre-existing condition, the insurance company can charge you more. This pre-existing condition could be pregnancy or being born with asthma. Children born with heart conditions would be under this classification.

I was born with a malformed duct in my pancreas. Until this was discovered, I had the problems of chronic pancreatitis. I do not or have ever drank. Alcohol is gross and foul to me in all forms. It was no surprise that I developed diabetes with pancreatitis. I can't afford an insulin pump.  So I take high doses of insulin by shots. These Republicans believe I led a bad life to get pancreatitis  so soon after birth. The logic eludes me.

The lack of knowledge in the above tweet is astounding. Iphones can paid on a monthly basis. My son does his. This solves problems that the above Republican seems clueless of. Iphones are connected to the internet. There is no deposit to the cable company and a monthly bill. Children have access to the internet for their homework.  I have a friend who uses this for her kids who need access for homework. There is also no expensive bill for a landline phone. The deposit is high and the bill is not cheap.

Perhaps if Republicans connected with their constituents and remembered they are not autonomous, they would not be thought of as enemies of poor Americans. Life happens and sometimes not in a good way. I have been working since the fourth grade. What I have, I paid for.  At one time I owned land and could get a loan on signature status.

Life happens. My son was born ill and I sold everything to pay our way. It was not enough. Eventually I had to get help. I won't  hang my head over this.  No American should have to hang their head.  Our Government needs to stop. The actions of Hitler's "Life unworthy of Life" was not good then. It is still an atrocity.

Still, there are talks about a registry

It is sad but in America there are people who revel in their lack of knowledge. I overheard a conversation that was held in a public place. Those of us who tried to talk reason were over talked and we left for safety reasons.  Ignorance can be volatile.

Trump has bellowed at intervals for a registry. When he caught flack, he slowed his verbal tirade a little. A few of my friends pointed out something that I had not realized. Silicone valley has already created backhanded registry's that Trump has probably zeroed in on.  Please read the first link.

If you visit certain sites on the internet, you are on a list. The reason they give is so they can better serve the client with advertisements. That does not work for a lot of people.

If my time on the internet is interrupted by advertisement, I make a strong mental note of it. Even if I had planned to buy from the advertiser, I buy from their competitor who did not interrupt me.

To put people on a list because of sites they visit is flawed in logic. I have a blog site. Isis gets my special attention as well as other terrorist groups who kill for the joy of doing so. Children are gifts from God and it is an abomination to kill them.. There is not enough people in power who care enough to step in. I am unable to fight. Monthly I struggle to pay bills. But I have a mind and can express my thoughts with words. Because I visit certain sights, it does not mean I am Muslim or a terrorist. I google all terror groups 3 to 5 times a week to see what atrocity they are up to. I google Islamic sites to see what the Quran has to say about it. The following verse is one I found and quote frequently. Terror groups love to kill members of their adopted belief system first.

"Whoever kills a believer intentionally, their reward will be Hell, to abide therein forever, and the wrath and the curse of Allah are upon them, and a dreadful penalty is prepared for them." (Holy Quran, Chapter 4, Verse 93)

Registry's are for four footed and feathery creatures. That way their pedigree or bloodline is known. People can not be "shoe horned" into a registry. Our blood lines are wide and varied.  Above all else, it is wrong and done for the purpose of racism.
