What if we told you two cities in Virginia just made the list of US localities where millennials moved last year?! Yeah, that's right, millennials are relocating to Arlington and Alexandria at a significant pace. About 11.5% of Arlington’s residents are millennials, according to SmartAsset. Most of the cities that ranked higher than Arlington and Alexandria were tech-oriented. In a world where millennials make up 72 million of the US population, according to Statista, this comes as no surprise.

Are you one of the roughly 1 million Virginians who get health insurance through the Affordable Care Act’s marketplace and Medicaid expansion program? Or are you among the tens of millions of Americans with preexisting conditions? If so, your healthcare could be at risk in a second Trump presidency. Over the weekend, Trump—who spent his first term trying to repeal the program commonly known as “Obamacare”—attacked it once again and said he was “seriously looking at alternatives.” If Trump wins the upcoming presidential election, repealing the law would take healthcare away from nearly 40 million Americans and once again allow insurance companies to deny care to those with preexisting conditions like cancer and diabetes.
