White male, worked in the local mine, currently working in construction. I own a truck with a gun rack (I hunt occasionally) and have a Hillary sticker and Vote Dem! sticker affixed to the bumper. I have Cystic Fibrosis so I take it personally when Rethugs say people like me don't deserve insurance because of pre-existing conditions or because we can't afford the ridiculous high prices for drugs. If not for Medicaid (THANK YOU OBAMA FOR THE ACA!!), my meds would cost me $3500 monthly and I would be long dead.
