Guess who's supposed to just go away and die.

Once again I was reminded today just why universal healthcare, single payer or whatever it takes we need to get a better system enacted and soon.

We have all heard stories about those who waited to long to see a Doctor then find out if only. Last week it was a Sister in Law and COPD today my Sister and Colon Cancer diagnosis.

Both had to supply their own insurance and would ether do without or get high deductible. Never talked to much about insurance because of their political views being way to the right of mine. But know they both did without for many years because of expense.

Truthfully if this was the "GREATEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD" this could never happen.

Ouch. Dude nailed it. Whell is bound to chime in with an article from some Ayn-Rand-infatuated 30 year old twerp who's never been laid (think Stephen Miller) to refute the Nobel Prize winning economist.

Worse. Robin Hood in reverse would be 'rob the poor.' This is 'kill the poor.'

Once the poor are all killed off who then will pay the taxes?

The next-poorest bunch.

In any case, you think reasonable objections like that cut any ice? Remember the old saying about cutting off parts of yourself to spite other parts? Reasonable is not what's driving policy here.

Greed? Selfishness? Both?

Dominance will be my guess. Trump wanted to be treated like a King.

Spite. Hate. The poor are wrong, unclean, sinful (and make them feel guilty for having normal, righteous greed and selfishness). They hates them.
