The absurdity of Trumpcare

-

Re “Trump fails to secure House healthcare votes,” March 22

Once again I’m discoverin­g that my understand­ing of the way the world works under the current administra­tion is upside down.

President Trump is warning Republican­s that they will lose their seats if they do not vote to deny an estimated 24 million Americans over 10 years affordable health insurance, as currently provided under the Affordable Care Act — and all that just to fund an upper-income tax cut and a pointless military expansion.

How can that be? Why would constituen­ts of red states whose lives will be most devastated by Trumpcare reward their Republican representa­tives with additional terms in office? Shouldn’t voting for the cruelty of Trumpcare be a certain ticket out of office?

When did up become down and wrong become right? Brian Cornelius

Does it bother anyone that the Republican­s who oppose Trumpcare do so because it provides too much coverage? Celeste Demetor
