She voted for Trump every time. Then came cancer and the bills

Cindy Banda arrived at a Houston cancer center to continue treatment after surgeons removed her right breast a year earlier. The 46-year-old mother of six, now also caring for three children taken in after her sister’s death, says her priority mantra is to keep “the house,” “the cars” and her kids stable—while medical bills mount. Heading into the Nov. 3 midterm elections, polls cited in the report show healthcare costs are a top worry for about half of registered voters. Banda backed Donald Trump in all three campaigns, driven by abortion views, but cancer and debt pushed her to consider voting Democratic for the first time.
