Health care: Trump backers get what they deserve

Re: “House Republicans pass health care bill - barely,” (TNT, 4/5).

I would encourage our senators to respect the will of those people who voted for the president. Especially those receiving Affordable Care Act coverage who voted for Donald Trump.

Let them have what they voted for. Do not deprive these voters the full benefit of their choice. To receive the ACA and vote for someone promising to take your coverage from you is like buying ammunition for someone threatening to shoot you.

Be careful what you vote for; you just might get it.
