Pretty much sums it up.  If the GOP has any plan to rein in medical costs, it's to hope the poor, under- and un-insured die of something before they qualify for Medicare.

Are there no poor houses?  No soup-kitchens?  The poor get the treatment they have earned!  Scrooge.

Guys, it's not nearly *that* bad.

All those people could afford gravestones.  Such opulence.

Maybe if the poor stopped wasting all their money on iphones, they wouldn't be dying from treatable diseases.  Well, treatable if you have the money.

If you stop to think about it, American healthcare is a lot like American war.  Sure, lots of people suffer horribly, but it's a system where some people can profit handsomely.  And besides, isn't the noble pursuit of the Almighty Dollar truly the American way?

All American wars since 1945 are total failures .. which is why the American war on health will fail.  Eat, drink and be merry ... because tomorrow ...

Arlington?  Those are honorable Americans, who you are mis-using.  Use a regular cemetery instead, courtesy of Big Tobacco.

May 22 ... Trump has to agree to continue the Obama fight, to allow the Government to do the tax subsidy for deserving Obamacare patients ... which has been nixed by a court order as unconstitutional (as an un-allocated spending without Congressional OK).  If he lets the court challenge expire, all the Obamacare subsidies go "poof".

Where have you been the last 2000 years.  That is how things are done.  Or if you are a woman, you can be some guys bitch.  Children are always fodder for the coal mines or the legions.

Trumpcare is "be rich or die".  Actually everything about Trump is "be rich or die".  Let's go further.  The rich shall inheret the Earth.  The rich shall increase among themselves, the rich DESERVE better medical support than the poor , the rich DESERVE a better life.

The poor should exist only for the convenience of the rich.  After all, they need gardeners and maids, cooks and drivers, toilet-scrubbers, pool-cleaners, and trophy wives.  How could they exist otherwise?  In fact, the poor should exist just to have their organs harvested when needed.  There is probably a contract for that.
