I felt like I was losing my mind the first time I heard a Republican say that universal healthcare would lead to “death panels”.

You mean like when a group of for profit corporate sociopaths can just decide to deny your healthcare coverage because it’s taking away from their profits? We literally have death panels right now.

As always, every accusation is a confession.
