    But that’s a build in design … less kids and other weak folk to give decades long medical coverage to saves a lot on the medical costs the small government has!

    On top of that, now with severe restrictions on research and marketing of new vaccines, there will be even less medicines in the system.
    What competition there was will be wiped away when there are only a small handful of “competing” drugs left per ailment, priced the same ofcourse but just differ in side-effects.

    Winning through reducing costs, losing by healing less people.

    And so, 4 years down the line, we hear them boast how much costs they reduced in medicaid and still kept it running.

    Hopefully, after 4 years of everything getting severely worse, they learn their lesson and stop voting for Republicans…

    I wonder if it’s really hit most poor Republican voters yet why the GOP is just ruling like there is no tomorrow? Why they seem to be on the ultimate corruption bender and living like there’s no consequences for their actions.

    Like it feels like they’re the kid that still holds out some hope even though their parents left to go buy cigarettes almost 9 months ago. I’m sorry, but they’re not coming back for you.

    If you could ask them why they abandoned you, they would just give you some vague excuse about bootstraps and say they’re teaching you to be self reliant.

        This.
        Op linked to her voter registration (republican of course) but that also showed her home address, which is a nono, so they got a temporary ban.

    Heh that’s the final nail? Wait til rural hospitals and clinics start closing due to lack of funding. No you wont get a MRI for $20, the hospital will just close because its no longer as profitable as it could be.

      Actually the death panel was fired so your application for health care is just sitting on a empty desk somewhere. But we’re working hard to implement Trump’s idea for a health care plan. Hang tight, bootstraps are the best health care anyways. - love MAGA.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
