(7,044 posts)6. the Republicans really do want to throw our American Elders under their 1% FatCat Bus

(15,139 posts)7. The "voucher" plan is a completely untenable joke. There
isn't an insurance company anywhere in the country that would agree to take on members of such a high risk group - at any price. There's no profit in it. With the Affordable Care Act out the window courtesy of the GOP, insurance companies would once again deny coverage at will. The plan wouldn't just cost seniors more. It would basically prevent them from getting healthcare.

"Now go and be Free, FREE, FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
. . . to DIE you worthless piles of S**T! If YOU can't WORK to make us RICH, what good are you?!"
Today's Republican Party.
I so wish I could put a sarcasm smilie on this, but unfortunately it's the truth.
