29. Trump is untrustworthy

Trump is either incompetent
Or
He does not understand the complexities of cancer care.


I was diagnosed with follicular lymphoma in 1990.
It returned in 2002 and 2019 as diffuse large B cell lymphoma.

When it returned in 2019, three things had to happen for me to reach remission.

1) The vote to repeal ACA failed.
I used provisions of ACA, such as no more lifetime limits.
In 2019, I went through 4 unsuccessful treatments over 2 years and all failed.

2) In 2021, I started a successful fifth treatment which was a new drug approved by FDA in 2020.
Cancer research helps me.
Trump has cancelled cancer research.
Problem with my lymphoma is that when it returns you can not use prior therapies; they do not work.

3) My health insurer tried to deny coverage for the drug but it was successfully appealed.

Trump and the people he has appointed in healthcare positions are untrustworthy.

mercy in him than there is milk in a male tiger.
