I'm 60, and about to move to a rural area because I want a little land. I also understand that I'm moving away from convenient healthcare.....  

Good for you.

Did you read it? I posted it. Is your health care any better? I do appreciate your sound bites and life experince. Thank you for taking us down memory lane.

Name me one, single hospital in the article that Trump shut down. Name me one, single hospital that will definitely shut down in the future.

From your article that you obviously didn’t read:

How many hospitals close in the end depends heavily on how states implement work requirements: how broadly they define “medically frail,” how much automated data-matching they deploy and how accessible their reporting portals are. States that build administrative barriers will see more disenrollment, more uncompensated care and more hospitals pushed to the brink.

My healthcare is the same, but a lot more expensive because of ACA and Obama. I’m still not using the birth control.

You’re welcome for the rest.

Trump!!

The first sentence should be massive "fines"...

I'd say, either pay or self deport.  Wait -- how about pay and get deported!

Obama has nothing to do with it. Trump has promised to fix and make health care affordable.  Your expense is because this administration lead us to believe that Trump had a better plan. Remember “The Great Healthcare Plan”  MAGA Mike and the current administration is why health care has risen.  I know but, but Biden.  Republicans control the House, Senate, and the White House.

Why-would you be taken birth  controls? I took you for a male, my sincere apologies.

Again, no hospitals have been closed. This is conjecture and speculation at this time. How the States implement work requirements will have the biggest bearing on who remains on Medicaid. States control who is on Medicaid.

My healthcare costs are directly affected because I'm forced to pay for Obamacare if I want medical insurance. Obama has EVERYTHING to do with it. I do agree that no Administration has fixed it yet. Obamacare was enacted in March 2010.

I am a male. But, I'm forced to pay for birth control--as is my wife, who is well past child-bearing age--because the ACA plans must include it.

My recommendation: Research. Become an educated voter. Or, become like me. Research, decide both sides are going to screw you over anyway, just don't vote, and figure out how best to deal with the crap. Do this while smiling, and maintaining a positive attitude of course.

Personally, I'm positive we'll get screwed either way. That's my attitude.

I respect your opinion, but the responsibility lies with the current administration. Remember, Trumps promise to appeal and replace.  Trump issued executive orders and tariffs for many issues except healthcare.  It's important to assign blame correctly since Obama can not appeal, replace, or issue executive orders like Trump.   Do you recall TrumpRX.gov?  Obama or Biden didn't authorize Trump to do that. The current president shows no limits, as has been demonstrated.

Do you feel like Reagan, believing Trump is exempt from responsibility and beyond reproach?  The key issue with rural hospitals is that they no longer offer services once funded and provided.  As a result, elderly residents must travel further to Florence or Charleston, SC, for services no longer available- gas prices are $4.29 per gallon, along with rising costs overall.  Marketplace insurance plans have high deductibles- here, it's $8000.00 based on your ZIP code with Ambetter Health- and you must earn less than $16000.00 a year to qualify. It's called a 50/50 plan, meaning you cover half, but there are no doctors in the area accepting Ambetter. Doctor visits cost $ 60, and the plan excludes coverage for x-rays and lab work.  You must pay for that. Finding a specialist is difficult, and if you earn $16000.00 a year, paying the deductible is challenging. The $8000.00 deductible is enforced if you go to the hospital for services.  After you meet the deductible the plan pays 100%.  

This situation resulted from MAGA Mike's refusal to pass legislation that would have improved coverage compared to what's currently available. Hope that helps.
