I hear they are left in the woods to die.

I'm sure that Mr. Booker knows that being from the same state as Pharma Giants like Merck means that he cant mess with their profits.

No, they die at home on hospice on waiting lists for surgeries that will never be scheduled because they cost too much and the person is 70 and NOT A PRIORITY. They die at home in bed because the drugs to keep them alive are too expensive and DON'T GET PRESCRIBED. It's quiet. It's invisible. But very effective at controlling costs. And let's not even talk about the people who do get operated on but live as cripples and handicapped for months and years while waiting and waiting and waiting. Unless they have some dough, which isn't often in this overtaxed, socialized mess of a country. In which case they become MEDICAL TOURISTS! YEAH!


SINGLE PAYER YEAH! AFFORDABLE CARE FOR ALL! NOTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!

Canadians have longer life spans that those here in the U.S. do.
