How would you even know that you are being screwed ? All you do is sing the same chicken little note every day regardless of clear facts that prove you are lying. The reason the GOP is in charge of everything, as you put it, is because your party SCREWED THE ENTIRE PLANET UP ! The Country is moving in the right direction and you are a leading indicator of that fact with all your crying and lies.

You'd be wrong. The Republican controlled Congress kept delaying full cuts mandated by the ACA. Congress finally implemented the cuts last year....result? High deductibles mean "customers" can't pay so hospitals file BK. bloomberg.com The Affordable Care Act, known as Obamacare, reduced payments to hospitals that serve a large number of poor and uninsured patients, known as "disproportionate share hospitals," on the theory that more patients would be insured under the law. Congress delayed those cuts several times, but didn’t do so for the current fiscal year, which may "single-handedly throw hospitals into immediate financial distress -- many operate on less than one day’s cash,” he said in an interview. Health-care bankruptcy filings have more than tripled this year according to data compiled by Bloomberg "Smaller hospitals have already been struggling for years,” said Kristin Going, a partner in the New York office of Drinker, Biddle & Reath LLP. Both lawyers declined to discuss specific companies. Since 2010, a growing number of patients have enrolled in high-deductible health plans that force them to shoulder more of costs when they get treatment, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That has translated into more bad debt from customers for hospitals and other providers.
