[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a great question and has perplexed me forever. Why would anyone who is middle class or poor and in danger of losing a job or health care vote for the Trump. A rich guy who has gotten there on the backs of these very people, who will never think about them and only themselves. It is like they believe if they just get a guy in office that looks like them they will be just fine. Someone explain how people consistently vote against their own pay checks and families. Is it fear? Is it hatred? Who does this?[/quote]

It’s quite simple, really. 
Many of us in the middle class realize that the more “power” we give to the government in taking care of us, the more freedoms we lose as a result. 
Like the ACA - we essentially handed over the power to the government to mandate health insurance for all, and in turn, gave up our freedom to choose what plan suits us and our families.  Don’t need birth control?  Too bad, you’ve got it.  [b]And, you don’t have young kids who need dental coverage? [/b] So sorry, pal, you get it anyway.  
So, simply put, we value freedom more than we value “free things.”

? [b] If you don't have young kids why are you getting coverage for young kids?    And if you do have young kids, you do need some kind of dental coverage. [/b]That's crazy to think you don't.

Hey, I hate that we have such easy access to guns, but sorry, pal, we get it anyways.[/quote]

See, this is my problem with those people who are so gung-ho about the ACA. 
Pediatric dental coverage is REQUIRED for all ACA-compliant plans - whether you have children or not. 
Guess you didn’t know that.  Makes me wonder what else you don’t know about it.

[quote]Dental insurance, for the most part, isn’t covered under ObamaCare (the Affordable Care Act). However, children’s dental coverage is a required benefit included on all ACA compliant plans and cost assistance can be applied to any Marketplace plan that includes dental.[/quote]

From that website:
[b]A child must be offered dental, but you don’t have to take it[/b]...."
