I am a type one diabetic and have survived 2 bouts of cancer. I acquired these through no fault of my own. I take care of myself, I don't smoke don't smoke or dip. I rarely drink and I'm not overweight. But I have what is considered pre existing conditions. Are people like me shit out of luck?

I live in central Maine. You can't survive here without a car. I drive 40 minutes each way for work. Even in our cities we have no real public transportation. I wish it was better. My son is scared to drive and wants to move to a city where he can at least walk to work.

I have 3 adult children that still live at home. The rental market is just more then they can afford. I know they would like to start their adult lives away from home but can't afford it. They are hard working kids but I don't want to see them go hungry to afford rent.

I am an adoptive foster parent. One of the children I adopted came to my home at 3 years old. There was severe abuse both verbal and physical. He is now 9 years old and still has night terrors and major outbursts at school and home. He will always calm down if you offer a hug but the trauma is there

I have type 1 diabetes. This is not from me being unhealthy. What am I supposed to do to lower my health care costs? My insurance has already skyrocketed and now they are deigning certain insulin because it is not preferred by them.

I have 3 adult children. I tell all my children how important their voices are. Voting is deigned to so many and not to be taken granted for. None of them have missed a vote in any matter since they were of age.

Congratulations! on November 5th it will be 3 years for me. By far one of the hardest things I have ever done was quit.

I have given up trying to explain or debate with any MAGA. They love to be mad about something all the time. It is a revolving door of stupid topics that make them angry.

Someone needs to get the Speake a subscription to a variety of newspapers so he is better prepared for questions. He never knows what going on in our country.

I have never been asked those questions in an interview. I am a man with 9 children. 2 of whom have special needs. My wife on the other hand has been asked similar questions.
