Trump blocks woman with stage 4 cancer on Twitter after she criticized his latest health care plan

On Wednesday morning, President Trump tweeted out his support for the so-called Graham-Cassidy health care bill that would allow insurers to discriminate against people with preexisting conditions and could cause tens of millions to lose coverage.

In the hours before Trump posted that tweet, his account blocked a woman with stage 4 cancer who has spoken out about the dangers of Republican efforts to repeal Obamacare.

Following a restless night, Laura Packard, a Las Vegas-based self-employed consultant, found out she’d been blocked by the president.

“I didn’t sleep too well because of the cancer,” she told ThinkProgress by phone. “But I don’t know if he just woke up on the wrong side of the bed today or what.
