Byrd Pinkerton: Leading up to November 8, were you weighing the pros and cons of each candidate? Did you talk about Trump's position on the Affordable Care Act at all?
Debbie Mills: We would watch the debates and stuff every night. But we didn't really talk about the health care that much, even though it now is a major player in our life.
Sarah Kliff: Are you surprised how much Republicans are talking about repeal?
Debbie Mills: No.
Sarah Kliff: Did you expect — do you think they'll do it, or do you think it'll be too hard?
Debbie Mills: I'm hoping that they don't, ’cause, I mean, what would they do then? Would this go away? I mean, I mean, will the insurance? It will go away?
Sarah Kliff: It will go, if they repeal it. I mean, it’ll … that's what they promised to do in so many elections.
Debbie Mills: Right, so, I don't know … I don't know what we'll do if it does go away.
Sarah Kliff: Do you think if it does go away, you'll regret your vote in any way? Thinking, “I voted for this person who took away my health insurance.” Or … it's like, that's one of so many things, like you said, jobs, the economy?
Debbie Mills: I don't know. I guess I thought that, you know, he would not do this. That they would not do this, would not take the insurance away. Knowing that it's affecting so many people’s lives. I mean, what are you to do then if you cannot … purchase, cannot pay for the insurance?
You know, what are we to do?
So I don't know. Maybe he's thinking about, you know, the little people that are not making the big money, like what they make in New York and Washington and all the places that, you know, this is not, you know, something — this is people’s lives that's being affected.
Byrd Pinkerton: Yeah. Going into it, did you hear him talking about his health care promises, or was it not something that came up in his ads or debates for you?
Debbie Mills: Um, no, I guess we really didn't think about that, that he was going to cancel that or change that or take it away. I guess I always just thought that it would be there. I was thinking that once it was made into a law that it could not be changed, but I guess it can? Yes?
Sarah Kliff: It can be changed.
Debbie Mills: Okay.
