By the way, in case you thought I was cooking up a rare scenario in describing a person dying of a disease that could be cured with treatments 1000 feet away if they had insurance, I’m actually describing what happened every day in America before Obamacare. Every. Single. Day. People on chemo who reached their lifetime cap, who were deemed too expensive to save, begging for one more week to some dead-hearted bureaucrat who was under orders to kill the expensive ones. They got bonuses for saving the company money. You wanna know why I’m such a ride or die Obama stan? It’s not because he was cool, and it’s not because I’m in love with the surveillance state, it’s because he led us out of that vicious nightmare world into someplace with some semblance of humanity. And now these degenerates in the GOP want to lead us back in. Back into that pitch black night so a few billionaires can have a few million more to stash in the Cook Islands. That’s why I’d chop my hand off before pulling the lever for a Republican, and why I don’t have patience for civil debate.
